Swiveler ICP industrial accelerometer for restriced spaces
PCB Piezotronics has a new ICP industrial accelerometer that installs conveniently into tight spaces at lower cost than existing through-bolt sensors. The new model 607A11 Swiveler provides a 360 degree swivel mount, making installation in tight spots quick and easy.
This design facilitates positioning of the integral, side-exit cable while the floating lock nut keeps the sensor securely in place. The company claims that this low-cost, smaller alternative to ring-style accelerometers has distinct advantages over other industrial-grade vibration sensors; for example, its small footprint of just 14mm diameter and its shear mode construction that minimises base bending and ambient temperature transient effects.
Suitable for permanent installations in space-restricted locations, the 607A11's laser-welded hermetically sealed design and stainless steel construction make it useful in dirty, oily and submerged applications.
Specifications include sensitivity of 100mV/g and frequency range to 10kHz, with ATEX intrinsically safe options available for use in hazardous area applications.
All standard PCB sensors and products are supplied with a two-year warranty and the company also offers to all customers, at no charge, 24-hour emergency telephone support. This service makes product and application support available to customers and end-users, day or night, seven days per week.
Typically available for delivery in the UK in less than a week and described as cheaper than most through-bolt designs, PCB Piezotronics' new model 607A11 Swiveler is the a logical choice for installations where space is restricted. To find out more go to www.pcbsensors.co.uk/.
