New vibration sensors for the automotive industry.
For engineers involved in automotive and autosport engineering projects in development, production and quality control, Monitran has designed and is now manufacturing, two new accelerometers or vibration sensors specifically for this market.
Both the new series 1830 and 1135 sensors offer high frequency response up to 13kHz., and are compact and low in mass, weighing around 30 grams. They are constructed in welded stainless steel housings with overbraided cable and sealed to IP67 to give ultimate protection in tough operating conditions.
The series 1830 vibration sensor uses a single bolt (M6 or M8) fixing and weighs just 47 grams, making it ideal for use on vehicles that are under investigation for vibration measurement and analysis. It has a frequency response of 0.8 Hz. to 12 kHz. with a measuring range of 10 or 50g and will operate over a temperature range of -10 to 140øC.
The series 1135 is much smaller, weighing just 30 grams and is ideal where space is limited. It has a quick-fit type fixing arrangement, which offers a mounting choice of a M6 threaded or an adhesive stud. It has a slightly wider frequency response range at 0.5 Hz. to 13 kHz. and a measuring range of 50 or 100g, operating over a temperature range of -25 to 140øC.
