IMI Sensors Debuts Mechanical Vibration Switch for Machine Shutdown Protection on Cooling Towers, Fans, Pumps & Motors
 
Depew, NY, USA – The new Model 685A07 Mechanical Vibration Switch from the IMI Sensors Division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) provides an economical solution for continuous vibration monitoring. It comes standard with an external pushbutton reset, and does not require power to operate. The switch uses a spring loaded, magnetically coupled sensor which can be externally adjusted for higher or lower sensitivity. This technology is particularly effective on cooling towers, fans, small motors or pumps, or any installation which requires immediate shutdown when increased vibration levels are present. Model 685A07 is a cost-effective approach for a first line of defense against catastrophic machinery failure. ...

Robust inclinometers with 360º measuring range and CAN interface
 
With the QG65, Dewit Industrial Sensors (DIS) offers a highly robust inclinometer that will measure a full 360º rotation in relation to the earth’s gravity without reference parts. In addition it is fitted with one or two M12 connectors and CAN-open interface for easy installation. The new QG65 is the latest addition to the Quadro-G inclinometer range, that include single, dual and tripple axis inclinometers. The sensor is suited for measurement of angular movement up to 360°; this is especially demanded for electronic control of the arms of mobile cranes when angular movement is greater than 180º. Robust: This inclinometer is specified to withstand shocks > 20.000g. Additionally the micro-electronics have been potted to IP 67 in a compact metal housing with M12 connectors. This results in an easy loop through the CAN interface. Specifications: The sensors are suited for 8 – 30Vdc supply voltage and can be configured with different outputs like a 0,5 – 4,5V or 4 – 20mA analogue signal, or a CANopen interface. ...

IMI Sensors Receives CSA Hazardous Area Approval for Electronic Vibration Switch
 
Depew, NY, USA – The IMI Sensors Division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) has received CSA hazardous area approval for the new Model 685B0001C14 electronic vibration switch. The certification includes Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C & D; and Class II, Division 1, Groups E, F, & G. This approval allows for implementation of the Series 685B dual alarm electronic vibration switch into hazardous rated environments for reliable continuous vibration monitoring and shutdown protection. The switch offers variable time delays, dual 10 amp form C relays, and dual NPT openings for ease of installation. As offered on all standard models, the switch also features a 4-20 mA output proportional to the measurement range; as well as the raw vibration signal from the integral accelerometer, for system diagnostics and spectrum analysis. ...

New generation of CO2 measuring systems determines indoor air quality (IAQ)
 
Since carbon dioxide (CO2) acts as an indicator of indoor air quality (IAQ), J. Dittrich Elektronic has developed a series of two-beam infrared measuring systems (NDIR) for demand-controlled interior ventilation, which detect the CO2 content of the ambient air fast, precisely and specifically. Thanks to a patented innovation, in contrast to conventional two-beam infrared photometers they are affordable, light, compact, robust and long-term stable. They are easy to operate, proven in practice and maintenance-free in normal applications. Calibration is not usually necessary as the second infrared beam serves as internal reference! The CO2 measuring systems are available in various designs: The "air quality signal“ is for rooms without a ventilation system. It is plugged into the socket outlet, and by means of optical and acoustic signals it prompts ventilation when the air in the room has become stale. If required, a data logger records the measured values. The MF420-IR-LC, MF420-IR (especially robust design) and MF420-IR-AL measuring systems output the measured value in the form of a continuous 4-20mA signal or else via two relay contacts, and in this way are able to control a ventilation or air conditioning system. ...

An important company in the medical industry places over $1 million orders for FISO pressure sensors
 
FISO Technologies, a subsidiary of Roctest Ltd (TSX: RTT) and a leading manufacturer of high-quality fiber optic sensors was awarded, from a long-standing medical OEM partner, orders for a total amount of $1.2M for the delivery of fiber optic pressure transducers and signal conditioners. These first production orders, which represent over 1000 medical systems and thousands of disposable sensors, are to be delivered over a 9 month period with an anticipation of follow-on purchase activities once completed in September 2007. The medical company implemented FISO’s FOP-MIV fiber optic pressure sensor in its new generation product used for heart disease treatments. The sensor is a key element in the life-supporting device, which received FDA clearance. The high-performing FOP-MIV is smaller, more reliable and accurate. It is also easier to use and to integrate into medical devices than conventional lumen catheter pressure sensors. The FOP-MIV has been especially designed and tested to fulfill the highest medical performance requirements and its optical nature makes the sensor immune to electromagnetic field or radiofrequency interferences regularly encountered in operating rooms or MRI devices. ...

“WHIRLIGIG” ™ Three in One
 

The “WHIRLIGIG”™ three in one target / bracket / guard is available for all industry standard cylindrical or DIN inductive sensors. The sensor bolts to the base plate and the complete assembly couples to the machines shaft. The installation of speed sensors is now simple and reliable. Shaft end float and machine vibration does not adversely affect the performance of the sensor, as the whole assembly moves with the shaft. It makes sense to use a “WHIRLIGIG”™ U.S. Pat # 6,109,120. - Available with 1, 2, 4, or 8 targets. - Corrosion resistant body and all stainless steel parts. - Optional MagCon, for magnetic connection to the shaft. ATEX certified Zone 20 & Zone 0. ...
