Compact velocity/accelerometer from
Monitran
Monitran, a world leader in the design and manufacture of vibration sensors, has launched the MTN/1195 accelerometer for use in implementing predictive maintenance routines
The MTN/1195 accelerometer delivers an industry-standard output current, proportional to vibrational velocity in the 4 to 20mA range With a 29mm hexagonal base and 42mm height, the sensor is suitable for use in applications where space is at a premium

The latest eddy current probes from Monitran, for non-contact vibration monitoring of pumps, have been designed to offer reliable AC or DC displacement measurement, with a 4-20mA output
New vibration sensor has choice of output signals
A new vibration sensor is designed to meet the requirements of building service managers, who are using vibration monitoring systems to help provide trouble-free utility services for their workplace
Neill Ovenden, Monitran Sales and Marketing Director, commented: "Electrically, the 1195 is the same as our popular 1185 accelerometer, but its compact design means it is easier to install where space is at a premium".
The accelerometer weighs 95g and has a stainless steel enclosure, sealed to IP67.
It is supplied with screened, two-core cable as standard and accepts input voltages in the range 12 to 32V DC (for 4 to 20mA operation).
The frequency response range is 2Hz to 1kHz +/-10% and the operating temperature range is -25 to 90C (with a temperature sensitivity of 0.08%/C).
Ovenden concludes: "Having the properties of our 1185 in a smaller can makes the MTN/1195 an extremely versatile transducer.
Also, whilst this is the first Monitran product to undergo a size reduction it will not be the last".
The MTN/1195 is available now.
