New range
of vibration sensors are intrinsically safe.
Hansford
Sensors Ltd. have launched the new range of ATEX and IEC Ex certified,
intrinsically safe vibration sensors as an additional choice
to the existing HS-100 Series of industrial accelerometers.
This range
of sensors is for use in applications where the environment contains
inflammable gases, fumes, chemicals, powders, dust etc., as found
in many industries such as mining, gas production, paints, petrochemical,
offshore, pharmaceutical.
They will allow
engineers to monitor vibration levels of pumps, fans, compressors,
motors, conveyors, drilling rigs and all types of rotating machinery,
which are in a potentially explosive working environment.
Monitoring vibration levels with off or online data collectors
on critical plant allows maintenance engineers to be aware when
corrective procedures are needed to maintain maximum production
efficiency or avoid costly shut-downs.
The new HS-100
sensors are sealed to a minimum of IP67 and can be used in both
Group I (Mining) and Group II (Petrochemical) applications. With
their construction in stainless steel and ability to withstand
tough operating conditions, the sensors offer reliability, optimum
performance and long service.
Available in
both top and side entry, the sensors have either integral cable
or connector, including the NEW M12 version now widely used in
industry and chosen by Hansford Sensors for its flexibility and
performance. Waterproof options are available for submerged use
up to 100 metres and various mounting choices exist with threaded,
magnetic and 'Quick-Fit' studs.
Visitors to
the company's website at www.hansfordsensors.com can view the
complete sensors range and the various certificates awarded for
the intrinsically safe operation.
Hansford Sensors
have also applied for certification for their range of HS-420
vibration sensors with 4-20mA outputs, ideal for direct connection
to PLC's. It is hoped that this new series will be available
in around two months time.
