SPM DuoTech SLC141 accelerometer

The SPM DuoTech SLC141 accelerometer is a highly advanced device that is used to measure vibration and shock pulse in machines. It is a single transducer solution that combines two of the most widely used and successful methods for monitoring mechanical condition: vibration and shock pulse measurement. The accelerometer is designed to provide consistent, high-precision readings in the low and high-frequency range. It is a robust device that is suitable for use in harsh and potentially explosive environments. In this article, we will discuss the features, specifications, applications, and advantages of the SPM DuoTech SLC141 accelerometer.

Features

The SPM DuoTech SLC141 accelerometer is a single transducer solution used for vibration and shock pulse measurements. It has a nominal sensitivity of 10 mV/g and a measuring range of 6000 m/s2 = 600g for vibration and 10 to 95 dB for shock pulse. The accelerometer is mounted in a countersunk mounting hole identical to holes normally used by shock pulse transducers. The housing and base are made of stainless acid-proof steel suitable for aggressive environments. The accelerometer is internally isolated in a Faraday shield providing maximum protection from ground loops and RF interference. The accelerometer is individually tuned piezo-electric accelerometer delivering excellent performance in a very large area of applications.

Applications

The SPM DuoTech SLC141 accelerometer is used in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aviation, and marine. It is used to measure vibration and shock pulse in machines, their moving components, or handled material. The accelerometer is also used for non-contact RPM measurements and for observation of fast, repeated motions of machines, their moving components, or handled material. It is an essential tool for maintenance and troubleshooting of machines, as it allows professionals to identify and diagnose problems quickly and accurately.
