Accelerometer Provides Simultaneous Measurement In Three Axes

The HS-173R triaxial vibration sensor is capable of providing simultaneous measurement in three axes and operates with the latest generation of route-based and stand-alone data collectors.

These collectors require multichannel inputs from a range of permanently or temporarily mounted sensors. The HS-173R uses technology based on an electromechanically coupled piezo-electric sensor mechanism, protected in a robust stainless steel capsule. Features include a settling time of 1s, an ac output via a standard M12 connector, IP67 sealing, and an operating temperature range from -55°C to +130°C. The new HS-173R accelerometer is available with a choice of options including a range of operating sensitivities from 10mV/g to 500 mV/g, different mounting threads, and an aluminium rather than stainless steel enclosure.
