Monitran Ltd has released details on its latest range of submersible accelerometers. Designed for installation at depths of up to 100 metres, the submersible accelerometers are ideally suited to installation on pumps, both in industrial applications and in the water industry in boreholes and remote pumping stations, where accuracy, longevity and a virtually maintenance free life are key.
The Monitran submersible accelerometer range includes the MTN/1150W, MTN/1186W and MTN/1185W. Providing accurate vibration monitoring of pump impellers and rotating shafts, the Monitran submersible accelerometer range provides engineers and maintenance technicians with a cost effective route to predicting pump faults and taking corrective action before failure.
All products in the range are sealed to IP68 and are designed to maintain accurate and effective operation at high pressures. With frequency responses of up to 8kHz and a measurement range of 50g, the submersible accelerometers are available with either 4-20mA or AC outputs enabling the output to be read by a PLC or data collector.
These accelerometers are the result of an ongoing product development programme, designed to bring the most effective condition monitoring solutions to a wide variety of industries. Vibration is one of the most effective methods of assessing the operational status of submersed pumps. To enhance system performance still further, the Monitran submersible accelerometer range is available with a range of options, including the MTN/3000 series switch box that enables the accelerometer to be hardwired back to an easily accessible location for data collection. Furthermore, a range of connectors, filters and bespoke housings are available to ensure maximum flexibility and suitability for a wide range of applications.
