Preditec/IRM presents its line of vibration sensors for use in high-temperature environments.
The most commonly used vibration sensors in machines with bearings are accelerometers; the maximum operating temperature for standard models is 120°C, but even if we install these sensors in machines operating near this temperature, the service life of the accelerometers is significantly reduced. For this reason, Preditec/IRM offers special high-temperature sensors, marked with the letters HT (High Temperature). The price of high-temperature sensors increases exponentially with the maximum temperature they can withstand; therefore, the following models have been established:
- PRE1010MS (std.): up to 120°C
- PRE1010MS-HT140: up to 140°C
- PRE1010MS-HT162: up to 162°C
- PRE1010MS-HT250: up to 250°C
- PRE1010MS-HT260: up to 260°C
- PRE1010MS-HT325: up to 325°C
- PRE1010MS-HT482: up to 482°C
- PRE1010MS-HT649: up to 649°C
High-temperature sensors are used in hot-gas air blowers, hot-fluid pumps, steam or gas turbines, the drying section of paper-making machines, etc.
When selecting vibration sensors, you need to consider more than just the temperature range; other factors include the frequency range, mounting method, compatibility with the measuring equipment, humidity conditions, and so on. Therefore, we recommend that you Contact one of our engineers who specializes in vibration measurement instrumentation; they will help you resolve your specific issue.
