Performance Specifications




   Acceleration
 
     Instruments that do not have integrated or associated sensors do not have a rated acceleration value. Searching by acceleration yields possible matches for those items. Enter the maximum acceleration to measure. One 'g' is the gravity on earth: 32.2 ft/sec2 or 9.8m/s2.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Linear Velocity
 
     The maximum range within which devices can operate.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Proximity / Displacement Range
 
     The measurement range of the sensor in the linear region, i.e., where the output varies consistently with the measured distance or displacement.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Frequency Range
 
     The frequency range of interest. Enter "0" for DC response.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Minimum Accuracy
 
     The minimum acceptable accuracy.  
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Activation Level
 
     The level at which switches activate.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Number of Axes       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Single Axis
 
     Devices are capable of measurement in only one axis.
 
   Biaxial
 
     Devices are capable of measurement along two, usually orthogonal, axes.
 
   Triaxial
 
     Devices are capable of measurement along three, usually orthogonal, axes presented as X, Y, and Z.
 
   Search Logic:      Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Sensor Types & Outputs




   Device Type      Think of products as belonging to general categories based on what they are designed to do and how they will be used. The 'category' criteria attempts to distinguish 'unpacked' sensors that might be used as part of a larger sensor from, say, a gauge which can be read just by looking at it.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Sensor / Transducer
 
     Devices are either a raw sensor or more complex transducer. Transducers can communicate either by voltage or current loop.
 
   Transmitter
 
     Devices are more complex, include packaging and/or powered signal conditioning, and produce an output such as DC voltage, 4-20mA, etc.
 
   Switch
 
     Devices either make or break contact when a certain activation or vibration level is achieved.
 
   Other
 
     Other unspecified or proprietary devices.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Sensor Output       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Acceleration
 
     The output supplied is a function of acceleration.
 
   Velocity
 
     The output supplied is a function of linear velocity.
 
   Displacement
 
     The output supplied is a function of proximity or displacement.
 
   Temperature
 
     The sensor also senses and outputs temperature data.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or proprietary vibration sensor outputs.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Sensor  Mounting




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Adhesive Base
 
     Sensors have a self-adhesive base, or are designed to be glued or epoxied to the machine surface.
 
   Magnetic Base
 
     Sensors have a magnetic base for easy mounting. 
 
   Stud or Bolt-on
 
     Sensors are mounted with a stud or bolt.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or proprietary sensor mounting types.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Features




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Battery Powered
 
     Batteries supply the main power for the device operation. This is not for backup supply.
 
   Corrosion Resistant
 
     A specially formulated material used for completion components in wells likely to present corrosion problems. Corrosion-resistant alloys can be formulated for a wide range of aggressive well bore conditions. However, cost generally determines the viability of any particular completion design. Alloys with high chrome content are commonly used for tubing strings.
 
   Event Triggered
 
     Can be set to capture / log data when an event happens.
 
   Explosion Proof
 
     A specially formulated material used for completion components in wells likely to present corrosion problems. Corrosion-resistant alloys can be formulated for a wide range of aggressive well bore conditions. However, cost generally determines the viability of any particular completion design. Alloys with high chrome content are commonly used for tubing strings.
 
   Filters
 
     Special signal processing or filtering (Butterworth, Bessel, etc).
 
   Intrinsically Safe
 
     Intrinsically safe (IS) is an adjective for equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most ignited concentration. The IS terminations and wiring may be brought into any hazardous location of any group classification for which it is accepted without requiring explosion proof housing or other means of protection.
 
   ICP®
 
     Integrated circuit piezoelectric (ICP). The accelerometer has a piezo device inside that isolates it from the outside environment.
 
   Radiation Hardened
 
     Radiation-hardened devices are constructed of materials designed to withstand high-energy gamma radiation. Ratings are expressed in units such as permissible rads in total accumulated dose (TAD).
 
   Sealed
 
     A unit completely sealed to provide constant operating conditions.
 
   Self Test / Diagnostics / Self Calibrating
 
     The instrument has self-test or diagnostics ability.
 
   Self Generating
 
     The device requires no external power supply for operation.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or proprietary features.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Environment




   Maximum Shock
 
     The maximum shock that devices must be able to handle. Products that are "typical" may not provide the maximum shock value explicitly. Use this value only when working with extremes.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum Vibration
 
     The maximum vibration that devices must be able to handle. Products that are "typical" may not that provide the maximum vibration value explicitly. Use this value only when working with extremes.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Operating Temperature
 
     The temperature range over which devices must operate.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
