A triaxial accelerometer allows simultaneous measurement of acceleration in three perpendicular directions. Monitran MTN/2330 It integrates the three axes within a single housing and provides an independent AC signal for each of them.

This configuration allows for the analysis not only of vibration amplitude, but also its direction and spatial distribution. It can be particularly useful in machinery or structures where movement does not occur exclusively along a single axis.

The use of a single triaxial accelerometer also simplifies installation compared to using three independent monoaxial accelerometers, as it maintains a common measurement position for all three axes.

The MTN/2330 has a acceleration range of ±80 g. Therefore, it can be used in applications where the maximum expected acceleration is, for example, of ±50 g, since this value is within the sensor's available range.

The specified frequency response is 2 Hz to 10 kHz with a tolerance of ±5 %, with a point of -3 dB at 0.8 Hz. This allows analysis from relatively slow mechanical vibrations to high-frequency components of 10,000 Hz.

The combination of ±80 g and 10 kHz This makes the MTN/2330 usable in applications where both high acceleration range and wide bandwidth are required.

The MTN/2330 is an accelerometer of constant current, commonly referred to as technology IEPE. Each axis provides an AC acceleration output with a nominal sensitivity of 100 mV/g.

To perform a complete triaxial acquisition, the measurement system must have three input channels compatible with IEPE accelerometers, one for each X, Y and Z axis.

The internal signals are isolated to reduce the influence of electrical noise. The sensor incorporates an electrically isolated base and a separate Faraday cage for each of the three channels.

The MTN/2330 is built in 304 stainless steel and has been developed for long-duration vibration analysis in demanding industrial environments.

Its level of protection IP67 It provides protection against the entry of dust and water within the limits defined by this degree of protection.

It can operate within a temperature range of -55 °C to +140 °C, This allows for its installation in a wide variety of industrial applications and testing systems.

The accelerometer's electrical connection is made via a 4-pin M12 connector, used to transmit the signals corresponding to the three measurement axes.

Monitran offers three main versions depending on the thread used to attach the accelerometer:

• MTN/2330: mounting using ¼-28 UNF male thread.
• MTN/2330M6: Mounting via M6 × 1.0 male thread.
• MTN/2330M8: mounting using M8 × 1.25 male thread.

The thread selection should be based on the surface and mounting point of the machine or structure where the accelerometer will be installed.

To obtain a good frequency response, it is important to ensure a rigid mechanical mounting and a correct connection between the sensor base and the measuring surface.

He MTN/2330 It is especially suitable when you need to combine triaxial measurement, high acceleration range, and frequency response up to 10 kHz in an industrial construction sensor.

Before selecting the accelerometer, it is necessary to define:

• Maximum expected acceleration range.
• Maximum frequency that should be analyzed.
• Need for measurement on one or three axes.
• Acquisition system compatibility with IEPE signals.
• Number of available IEPE channels.
• Thread type required for assembly.
• Operating temperature.
• Environmental conditions of the installation.

For an application that requires, for example, a 50g triaxial accelerometer with response up to 10,000 Hz, The MTN/2330 can cover both requirements thanks to its ±80g range and frequency response of up to 10 kHz.
