Piëzoelectric accelerometers (CA-serie)

For applications that do not require the temperature capabilities of a CA sensor, this series offers a more cost-effective and easier-to-install solution.

Designed for the long-term measurement and monitoring of absolute vibrations in heavy-duty environments, such as gas or steam turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans.

Main features:

  • Available in standard versions and in Ex versions certified for use in hazardous areas.
  • Signal conditioning: confirmed or integrated electronics.
  • Note: No external signal processor, so no connectors close to the monitored machine and easier to install. High-temperature environments and low-frequency applications.
