Monitran’s general purpose accelerometers provide a reliable and continuous output for condition monitoring, helping to prevent failure and extend machine life.
What Are General Purpose Accelerometers?
Designed for use with PLCs and other industrial controllers, our general purpose vibration sensors output a standard 4-20mA signal.
These signals enable early fault detection, making it easier to prevent breakdowns and plan maintenance.
Typical issues detected include:
- Machines working loose from mountings
- Fan blade imbalance or malfunction
- Bearing wear or failure
By logging data over time, you can identify trends and diagnose issues before they lead to expensive damage or downtime.
Built for Every Environment
We manufacture accelerometers suitable for:
- Standard industrial use
- Submersible and wet environments
- Hazardous areas, with approvals including ATEX, IECEx and ANZEx
Choose from Trusted Sensor Ranges
We offer two series:
- 1185 and 1187 series – proven, dependable performance
- 2285 and 2287 series – enhanced electronics, reduced noise, and improved isolation thanks to internal Faraday shielding
Accelerometer Applications
These sensors are suitable for:
Accelerometers measure vibration, acceleration, and in some applications, dynamic movement and speed. They are vital tools for predictive maintenance and performance monitoring.
