New Hansford sensor offers triaxial functionality

June 2013 Sensors & Transducers

Hansford Sensors has launched a new triaxial accelerometer that enables three axes to be read simultaneously. The new HS-109 Series vibration sensor comes complete with the established and proven M12 connector and is designed to be used both offline and as a permanently mounted sensor on industrial machinery.

Because the HS-109 allows three axes to be read simultaneously, measurement time can be reduced and this functionality can be supplied with a variety of different sensitivities to suit a variety of applications. The HS-109 can be used within offline applications using commercially available data collectors and also in online monitoring systems across a range of industries, including building services, civil engineering, paper and pulp, mining, metals, utilities, automotive, water, pharmaceutical and aerospace.

Protected by a stainless steel casing, the HS-109 can function within an operating temperature range of -55 to 140°C and is sealed to an ingress protection level of IP67. It is therefore well designed to monitor a range of machinery, including fans, motors, pumps, compressors, centrifuges, conveyers, air handling units, gearboxes, dryers, presses, cooling, HVAC, spindles, machine tooling and process equipment.
