Meggitt introduces 993B-7-M12 triaxial vibration sensor

Meggitt introduces 993B-7-M12 triaxial vibration sensor with removable cable, improved in-band signal fidelity and a 50% increase in dynamic range.

December 8, 2011 - Meggitt introduces 993B-7-M12 triaxial vibration sensor with removable cable, improved in-band signal fidelity and a 50% increase in dynamic range.


The M12 connector enables an upgrade to the external case resulting in a thicker shell and better resistance to impact. For both route based and permanent mount applications, this full performance triaxial accelerometer hosts three general purpose 100 mV/g vibration sensors with ±10% sensitivity tolerance. The accelerometer has the option of being paired with a removable, flexible cable which can be assembled with an assortment of connectors including BNC, Turck, 11-pin Fischer, and 4-pin Bendix. In permanent mounting applications, having a removable cable and captive mounting screw can accommodate cable runs from any angle. The cost effective benefit of the 993B-7-M12's removable cable is that severed cables no longer mean sensor replacement.

The 993B-7-M12 features a broad frequency range from 2-10,000 Hz on the Z axis, and 2-7,000 Hz on the X and Y axes. Each channel of the 993B-7-M12 has improved amplifiers to minimize the influence of out of band signals, thereby minimizing sensor overload, a condition which renders sensor data unusable. For in-field vibration analysis, the 993B-7-M12 is compatible with most field analyzers and eliminates the need for extensive wiring.

The 993B-7-M12 is suited to the harshest industrial environments. The accelerometer follows the hermetically sealed, ESD protected and EMI/RFI shielded format that has made Wilcoxon Research sensors the standard in many plants worldwide. Reverse wire protection comes standard, to protect the internal circuit from failure, should the input power be misconnected.

The 993B-7-M12 is appropriate for monitoring most industrial rotating equipment including fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, chillers, gearboxes, mixers and motors. Continuous vibration monitoring is easily implemented with the full range of Wilcoxon Research accelerometers.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
