Low profile vibration sensor looks after
spindles
Said by the manufacturer to be ideal for machine spindle monitoring, a vibration sensor has a low profile allowing it to be used where access is limited.
A spindle is a motor-driven or motorised precision shaft that both positions and transmits power to a tool or holds a work piece They are a key component in all machine tools in the manufacturing processes of turning, cutting, drilling, counter-sinking, tapping, reaming, grinding and milling

Low profile accelerometer is inexpensive
A low-profile accelerometer facilitates inexpensive vibration monitoring in difficult-to-reach locations - without compromising accuracy or reliability.
Spindles can operate at speeds of 20,000 rev/min or more and have a direct impact on efficiency, accuracy and overall productivity.
In order to keep the spindle operating at its optimum performance, it is usually monitored by sensors for vibration, speed and temperature variations.
Any change in operating patterns can then be detected, allowing corrective work to be carried out so avoiding costly machine down-time or failure.
With its low profile allowing it to be used where access is limited, Monitran's latest MTN1830 vibration sensor is ideal for spindle monitoring.
The single stud fixing allows for easy mounting of the sensor.
Constructed in stainless steel and sealed to IP67, these vibration sensors provide an excellent frequency response of 0.8Hz to 12kHz +/-5%, superb repeatability, and 100mV/g +/-10% sensitivity for high accuracy in even the most demanding.
