High Sensitivity Accelerometer Monitran MTN/1800
- Manufacturer: Monitran
- Category: Accelerometers and Vibration Sensors, Amplified, SENSORS
Ultralight piezoelectric accelerometer for modal analysis and vibration testing of lightweight structures, such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) or scale prototypes. The dynamic mass is 11 g (nominal) to avoid altering the resonant frequency of the measured part.
Sensitivity of 1000 mV/g (±5% at 80 Hz), measurement range ±10g (peak). Cubic body 16 x 14 x 14 mm, black anodized aluminum (HE30), with side cable exit. Mounts with technical adhesive or beeswax, no drilling required.
Operating temperature from -55 °C to +120 °C. IP65 protection. 5 m integral ETFE cable with BNC connector, for direct connection to oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. For use in laboratories and R&D centers.
- Dynamic mass: 11 g (nominal).
- Sensitivity: 1000 mV/g (±5% at 80 Hz).
- Frequency response: 5 Hz to 12 kHz (±10%). Resonant frequency: 25 kHz (nominal).
- Cubic body measuring 16 x 14 x 14 mm in black anodized aluminum. Insulated base. Transverse sensitivity: 5% (maximum).
- Connection: integral ETFE cable (5 m) with BNC.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is it not recommended for heavy industrial environments?
The casing is made of aluminum and the design is ultra-lightweight, but it lacks the mechanical resistance to impacts, flying chips, or aggressive fluids. It is intended for laboratories, test benches, and controlled environments.
2. How do you assemble it if it doesn't have a thread?
With fast adhesive (cyanoacrylate) or technical beeswax, without bolts or threaded adapters.
3. What does the BNC connector offer?
The BNC connector is standard in laboratory instrumentation. It allows the sensor to be connected directly to data acquisition (DAQ) cards or portable FFT analyzers, without adapters.
