Description
Functions acceleration sensors
Acceleration sensors are used for various applications, such as:
- Active vibration damping
- Vibration measurements
- Transport monitoring
- Compensation of vibrations at load cells
- Preventive maintenance
- Maximum vibration monitoring of wind turbines applications
Applications acceleration sensors
The accelerations sensors with robust MEMS technology are perfect to use for:
- Agricultural machinery
- Wind mills
- Containers
The acceleration sensor housing
Many of the acceleration sensors in the QG range use a unique universal plastic housing concept, known as QUADRO®. The advantage is the very compact size, simple installation and the fact that the electronics are fully sealed which provides a high degree of ingress protection (IP67).
Types of acceleration sensors
DIS acceleration sensors are available with the following general specifications:
| Measurement range: | ±0.26 to ±18 g (1 g = 9.81 m/s²) |
| Frequency: | 0 – 10/50/100/500/1,000/2,500 Hz |
| Energy supply: | 5 V dc or 10-30 V dc |
| Analogue output: | 0.5 – 4.5 V or 4 – 20 mA |
| Digital output: | CANopen (Safety) |
| Level of protection: | IP67, IP68 or IP69K |
| Precision: | depending on model and range: as high as ±0.003 g |
| Zeroing possibility: | depends on model |
| Functional safety: | SIL2/PLd (optional) |
| Housing: | (reinforced) plastic or stainless steel |
