The new Model 600A13 High Temperature industrial grade accelerometer from the IMI Sensors division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) outputs a standard 100 mV/g (10.2 mV/(m/s2)) acceleration signal from its integral charge converter, allowing it to be used with conventional ICP® sensor signal conditioners and data collection equipment. With a temperature rating of +900 ºF (+482 ºC) at the sensor head, Model 600A13 can be used to monitor vibration on gas turbines, engines, pulp & paper machinery, steel mills, petrochemical pumps, or in applications where elevated surface or ambient temperatures are a concern, thus preventing the use of standard industrial accelerometers. Model 600A13 is an all-hermetic system, offering a frequency range of 2 to 5k Hz, and installed using an industry standard 2-pin MIL-type connection. It includes a 10-foot (3-meter) integral hard line cable and differential charge converter, and includes a fully traceable NIST-amplitude response calibration. ...

The familiar RoaDyn P103/P106 torque measuring wheels from Kistler are now available as BaseLine models. With the matching measuring chain the system has all the quality attributes of the proven PremiumLine models appreciated for their modularity. The RoaDyn BaseLine models offer a cost-effective entry point into torque measuring wheel technology in return for reduced functionality. They allow the user to exploit all the features of piezoelectric measurement. The measuring wheel can be switched to a partial range with a factor of 10. This allows braking tests at the limits with very high torques and coast down tests with extremely small residual torques to be performed with equal ease. By contrast with the PremiumLine, these models have no additional temperature inputs for type K thermocouples and no connections for additional sensors on the rotating side of the slip ring. Measurements of the angle of rotation in the BaseLine slip ring are not possible. Kistler has ensured that the BaseLine models are compatible with the existing PremiumLine. As a result, it will be possible to upgrade to slip ring transmission with enhanced functionality or to wireless signal transmission at any stage in the future. ...

Capacitec announces the introduction of a new contact type gap measurement probe that acts like an electronic feeler gauge. Developed for turbine engine manufacturers to measure blade tip clearance, this new probe combines the advantages of precise gap measurement (<1% FS), with a wide range (from 0.03”/0.76 mm to 0.0157”/4 mm) and ability to measure conductive and non-conductive surfaces. It is used as a set up tool in a wide range of Industrial, Aerospace and Automotive applications. When used in conjunction with the battery operated GAPMAN™ it offers a highly portable and flexible gap measurement system. ...

The M300 slipswitch is a low cost, maintenance free, non-contact speed monitor for detecting underspeed conditions for rotating machinery. The slipswitch incorporates an adjustable 0-30 second start-up delay, magnetic calibration and 20 % underspeed detection, with 2 LED status indicators, and 12 to 240 VDC / 24 to 240 VAC supply. Installation is made easy with the benefit of “2 wire” connection, the load being connected in either supply wire. The unit is totally encapsulated to IP67 requirements. FM approved for Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F and G hazardous locations ...
