September 7, 2011 - Meggitt introduces the 787T, a side exit, low profile, dual output accelerometer with a built-in temperature sensor. . The side exit 787T has the capability of monitoring in low clearance areas and can accommodate cable runs from any angle with the inclusion of a 1/4-28 or M6 captive screw. Designed with a standard 3-pin MIL-C-5015 connector, the 787T is compatible with cabling infrastructure found in most industrial locations. When used with vibration based field data collectors, the data collector powers both the vibration and temperature sensors simultaneously.
The 787T is suited to the harshest industrial environments. The accelerometer has a rugged, hermetically sealed, ESD protected and EMI/RFI shielded format. Combining the accelerometer with the IP 68 rated R6GQ Viton boot 3 socket connector and J9T3A Teflon cable results in equipment that can be used in wet and dry environments and protected from a wide range of chemicals. The 787T full performance accelerometer is ideal for route based or permanent mount applications, hosting a general purpose 100 mV/g vibration sensor with strict ±5% sensitivity tolerance and broad 3 dB frequency response from 0.5 Hz to 12 kHz.
The temperature sensor provides a clean 10 mV/°C signal for tracking sensor mounting location temperatures from 2 to 120° C. The 787T is appropriate for monitoring most industrial rotating equipment including fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, chillers, gearboxes, mixers and motors. The inclusion of a temperature probe in the vibration sensor housing enhances a user’s ability to detect abnormal equipment component wear, resulting in reduced failure rates.
