MTN/1010 Industrial Accelerometer

Vibration monitoring in heavy machinery and the paper industry requires robust sensors that can withstand harsh environments, but it is not always necessary to incur the costs of double-shielded equipment if the electrical noise environment is controlled.

The IEPE accelerometer addresses this need by offering a robust and durable general-purpose solution, with a flared hexagonal base of 25 mm and a total mass of 110 grams. Equipped with a coaxial connector TNC with a top input, it provides standard sensitivity of 100 mV/g with a frequency response of 2 Hz to 10 kHz.

At the construction level, it is machined from industrial-grade stainless steel and sealed according to the standard IP65, ensuring its long-term mechanical integrity. By employing a non-isolated base design and coaxial cable transmission, it is highly effective for standard data collection routes where severe ground loops are not present.

• Robust industrial design with a 25mm base and a mass of 110g for a firm anchor.
• AC output proportional to acceleration with a dynamic range of ±80 g.
• Nominal mounted resonant frequency of 16 kHz for stable readings.
• Stainless steel housing with IP65 sealing and TNC type quick top connection.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ technically from the MTN/1020 model?
The MTN/1010 has a larger support base (25 mm vs. 19 mm) and a greater mass (110 g vs. 52 g), making it ideal for heavier machinery where the weight of the sensor itself is not a factor that alters the vibration dynamics of the equipment.

Are precautions necessary due to electrical noise in the installation?
Yes. Because it has a non-galvanically isolated base and uses standard coaxial cable, it should be installed at points on the machine where there are no ground loops or severe spikes in electromagnetic interference (EMI). In cases of critical EMI, it is recommended to upgrade to the isolated MTN/1100 series.

What mechanical adapters can be used with its 25mm base?
The unit comes standard with a ¼"-28 UNF female thread, but the family of adapters allows direct conversion to M6, M8, M10, M12 male threads and even bases for industrial glue, as well as being compatible with Quick Fit quick connectors (MTN/1010Q variant).
