Accelerometers are more compact thanks to M8 connectors
Following the introduction of the popular M12 connector to its range of vibration sensors, Hansford Sensors is now using the new compact M8 connector to produce the much smaller range of HS-130 accelerometers. This reduction in size gives the HS-130 accelerometer a smaller footprint, making it suitable for monitoring vibration levels on smaller machinery and allowing it to be used where space is limited. The connectors are robust and secure, simple to install and offer easy manipulation, curving around those awkward places in typical processing plant areas. There is a wide choice of mounting options to meet a range of factory requirements.
Sealed to IP67, the M8 connector conforms with a well-proven industry standard and can be supplied in a variety of tailored assemblies of differing lengths, enabling cost-effective installation. Hansford Sensors have already applied the M12 connectors across their HS-100, HS-100S, HS-420 and HS-421-approved series of vibration sensors, most of which are also available in ATEX-approved versions for intrinsically safe applications. All models are constructed in robust welded stainless steel and offer either top- or side-entry for the electrical connection. Both the M8 and M12 connectors are available in straight or right-angle versions. Typical applications for the HS-130 include pharmaceutical, food, marine and printing installations, plus intricate packaging and handling machinery.
