CA280 144-280-000-016 piezoelectric accelerometer Sensor only version

Description:

The CA280 is a piezoelectric accelerometer from Parker Meggitt’s vibro-meter ® product line.

The CA280 sensor features a symmetrical shearmode measuring element with internal case insulation in a AISI 316L stainless-steel case (housing).

The CA280 is available as a sensor only or fitted with an integral low-noise cable that is protected by a flexible stainless-steel protection hose (leaktight) and terminated with flying leads. The sensor and protection hose are hermetically welded to produce a sealed leaktight assembly, which is available with different cable lengths. The sensor only version allows different cable assemblies to be used depending on the environmental/temperature requirements of the application.

All versions of the CA280 are Ex certified for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres (hazardous areas).

The CA280 piezoelectric accelerometer sensor is designed for vibration monitoring and measurement when high instrument sensitivity and low base-strain sensitivity are required.
