Hardware Specifications

Rotor Dynamics Monitoring and Vibration Signal Acquisition

The 200150 accelerometer utilizes a ceramic piezoelectric sensing element to detect machine vibration and generate a proportional electrical output. The sensor is intended for monitoring vibration behavior associated with rolling-element bearings, motors, pumps, compressors, fans, and other rotating assets.

The hermetically sealed construction protects the sensing components from moisture ingress and contaminants commonly encountered in industrial installations. When integrated into Trendmaster systems, the accelerometer provides vibration data used for machinery condition analysis, fault detection, and long-term asset monitoring.

The specified frequency response range supports measurement of vibration phenomena associated with imbalance, misalignment, mechanical looseness, and other rotor dynamic conditions.
