Swivels into place

PCB Piezotronics has a new ICP industrial accelerometer that installs conveniently into tight spaces at costs that are said to be lower than for existing through bolt sensors.

The Model 607A11 Swiveler provides a special 360° swivel mount making installation in tight spots quick and easy.

The design facilitates positioning of the integral, side-exit cable while the floating lock nut keeps the sensor securely in place. This low-cost, smaller alternative to ring-style accelerometers has a small footprint of just 14mm diameter and its shear mode construction minimises base bending and ambient temperature transient effects.

Suitable for permanent installation in space-restricted locations, the 607A11's laser-welded hermetically sealed design and stainless steel construction make it suitable for use in dirty, oily and submerged tasks.

Specifications include sensitivity of 100mV/g and frequency range to 10kHz with ATEX intrinsically safe options available for use in hazardous area applications.
