New 3-axis accelerometer from Hansford Sensors – What is a 3-axis accelerometer?

Hansford Sensors, the specialised manufacturer of advanced industrial accelerometers, has launched a new high performance triaxial vibration sensor, capable of providing simultaneous measurement in three axes. This three axis accelerometer range promises ease of use and to reduce lost space, while not compromising on reliability or quality.

Called the HS-173R, our new 3-axis accelerometer has been developed specifically for use with the latest generation of route-based and stand-alone data collectors, which increasingly require multichannel inputs from a range of permanently or temporarily mounted sensors. 

The HS-173R 3 axis accelerometers uses proven technology, based on an electromechanically coupled piezo-electric sensor mechanism, protected in a robust stainless steel capsule. This 3-axis accelerometer has been designed to provide a reliable, compact and lightweight device, capable of providing consistent and repeatable machine monitoring measurements, with excellent frequency response and a settling time of just 1.0 seconds.

The HS-173R has an AC output via a standard M12 connector, is sealed to IP67 and can be used in wide range of applications within an operating temperature range from -55°C to +130°C.
