Latest Hansford sensor provides vibration monitoring to customers with limited space
Hansford Sensors, the leading European manufacturer of industrial accelerometers, has launched a new accelerometer, designed for use in engineering applications where space and access is limited. The new HS-420S vibration sensor provides customers with a low cost on-line means of monitoring fans, pumps, motors and a wide range of process equipment, with the capability of interfacing directly to PLC, BMS or any 4-20mA input module.
The development of the HS-420S vibration sensor meets high customer demand for a low profile and cost-effective industrial accelerometer that is ideal in a wide range of applications where space and access to apparatus is limited. Weighing just 170 grams, and measuring 25mm in width and 35mm in length, the HS-420S vibration sensor can also be used for offline applications using commercially available data collectors. The base isolated vibration sensor ensures that problems are detected early enough to allow planned maintenance intervention to be carried out with minimal disruption and cost.
Protected by a stainless steel casing, the 2-pin side entry velocity transducer can function within an operating temperature range of -25 to +90 ºC and is sealed to an ingress protection level of IP67. The HS-4-20S vibration sensor is also available with the option of an integrated temperature sensor, meeting customer needs for simultaneous vibration and temperature measurement from a single compact device.
Hansford Sensors’ vibration monitoring equipment is designed to enhance efficiency and protect manufacturing and engineering process equipment across a variety of applications, including metals, wind power, marine and mining.
