Monitran MTN/1600 Industrial Speed Sensor
- Manufacturer: Monitran
- Category: Accelerometers and Vibration Sensors, Amplified, SENSORS
Vibration severity monitoring in heavy machinery, such as that used in the paper or mining industries, is typically governed by velocity parameters (mm/s) according to international standards. Using standard accelerometers requires acquisition systems to perform mathematical integration of the signal, which can introduce phase errors and noise at low frequencies if the equipment is not perfectly calibrated.
This industrial speed sensor overcomes this limitation by internally integrating the piezoelectric signal, providing an AC output of 4mV/mm/s directly proportional to the linear speed. Its stainless steel chassis and top-entry design make it ideal for permanent installations in harsh environments where lateral space is limited but a direct and reliable reading of overall machine vibration is required.
Equipped with a 2-pin C5015 military-grade industrial connector and a galvanically isolated base, the MTN/1600 ensures clean signal transmission protected against electromagnetic interference. Its wide operating temperature range, up to 140°C, allows for deployment in the hottest areas of machinery without any degradation in sensitivity.
- Direct exit from linear speed (4mV/mm/s) simplifying ISO analysis.
- Optimized frequency response of 5 Hz to 4 kHz for rotating machinery.
- Robust construction in stainless steel with airtight seal IP67.
- Guaranteed operation in extreme ranges from -25 °C to 140 °C.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does this sensor differ from a standard accelerometer?
Unlike an accelerometer that measures changes in acceleration (g), the MTN/1600 delivers a voltage signal that directly represents the vibration velocity. This eliminates the need to integrate the signal into the data collector or PLC, facilitating direct comparison with vibration severity tables.
2. Why is the C5015 military connector important in this model?
The C5015 connector is the gold standard in heavy industry due to its mechanical strength and watertight seal. It allows the sensor to be disconnected for maintenance or calibration without risk of damaging the wiring, ensuring a reliable connection even in the presence of oils and dust.
3. Is it compatible with any vibration data collector?
Yes, provided the collector accepts constant current signals (IEPE/ICP®). When configuring the equipment, simply select the sensitivity of 4mV/mm/s for accurate and straightforward speed readings.
