150WXRS WeatherStation® Instrument
Airmar’s WeatherStation WXRS provides real-time information on rain intensity, accumulation, and event duration. An acoustic sensor measures the impact energy of individual raindrops on the top of the instrument. This patented rain-detecting sensor is virtually maintenance-free. It has no moving parts or components that need to be emptied, cleaned, or will become clogged by debris.
150WXS WeatherStation® Instrument
Airmar’s WeatherStation 150WXS provides accurate, site-specific, weather data from a single compact device. It measures seven critical weather parameters in real-time. The compact housing features ultrasonic wind and barometric pressure measurements. Plus the solar radiation shield increases the stability of temperature and relative humidity readings.
200WX WeatherStation® Instrument
The WeatherStation 200WX is the best choice for mobile or stationary, weather-monitoring applications. Sensor rich, in a durable, rugged, small housing that is IPX6 rated, means the 200WX can be used on moving platforms such as TV-news and military vehicles. The 200WX calculates the dynamic true wind speed and direction based upon the apparent wind speed of the vehicle, and vehicle heading.
746 General Purpose Underwater Accelerometer
The 746 underwater accelerometer withstands continuous submersion to 650 PSI. The lightweight titanium case is resistant to galvanic corrosion and offers strong performance at high pressures. A potted integral cable prevents water ingress and protects the circuitry. The 746 is used for ship propulsor and hull vibration monitoring, acoustic signature monitoring on submarines, and lab research.
754 Miniature Underwater Accelerometer
The 754 underwater accelerometer withstands submersion to 650 PSI. The lightweight titanium case is resistant to galvanic corrosion and offers strong performance at high pressures. A potted integral cable prevents water ingress and protects the circuitry. Applications for a 10 mV/g high amplitude sensor include intrusion detection, propulsion system diagnostics, and acoustic signature reduction.
757 Biaxial Underwater Accelerometer
Wilcoxon’s 757 biaxial underwater accelerometer withstands continuous submersion to 650 PSI. The potted integral cable prevents water ingress and protects the circuitry. A stainless steel overbraid prevents cuts, abrasions, and damage to the integral cable. Multidirectional vibration analysis is ideal for low-frequency monitoring of ship propulsion systems and hydroelectric power gen.
883M Digital Triaxial Accelerometer for Industrial IOT
Our industrial triaxial accelerometer and temperature sensor with Modbus output enables data sharing with local and plant data systems, including PLCs, DCSs, SCADAs, and HMI displays. More than 50 calculated vibration metrics, vibration spectrum, and time waveforms empower operators with digital data for condition monitoring, process monitoring, IoT edge processing, and data science activities.
Accelerometers for Monitoring Wind Turbine Health
Vibration diagnostics find the root cause of problems and establish a baseline of wind turbine health to avoid unplanned outages and expensive unscheduled repairs by identifying problems, providing early warning of fault conditions, and preventing catastrophic damage to turbines, gearboxes, bearings, main shafts, and towers.
Accelerometers for Oil & Gas Machinery and Equipment
Safely monitor the health of machinery in oil and gas operations with vibration sensors and vibration transmitters rated for operation in hazardous locations and high-temperature environments, including offshore, petrochemical, refineries, and chemical processing: blowers, centrifuge, chillers, compressors, cooling towers, fans, gearboxes, mixers, motors, pumps, turbines, and vibrating conveyors.
Accelerometers for Rail Car Wheel and Locomotive Health Monitoring
Vibration monitoring identifies wheel problems, mechanical faults, or component wear and helps rail operators schedule repairs, analyze/sustain rail equipment life, avoid expensive damage, and operate safely and reliably. Monitored railway assets include cab, trucks, wheel bearings, wheel drive motors, main engine, diesel engine, gearboxes, generators, head-end power unit, and roller elements.
