The Metrix 5485C is a hot end vibration sensor used on gas turbines. By employing a zero friction coil suspension, these sensors provide accurate, repeatable vibration measurements over wide ranges of amplitude and frequency. They are constructed for continuous operation at elevated temperatures. The coil bobbin is suspended by two non-twisting, circular spider springs that provide a clean frequency response. Damping is electromagnetic and purely viscous. No friction prone air damping is employed. This allows the detection of small vibrations at low frequencies.
Available with fixed armored cable or 2-pin connector (requires mating Model 4850-XXX cable), the sealed stainless steel case and rugged internals insure durability in the most hostile environments.
The Metrix 5485 is UL intrinsically safe for Class 1, Grps A-D, Div. 1; Non-incendive for: Class 1, Grps. A-D, CSA Explosion-proof for: Class 1, Grps A-d, Div. 1; IEC intrinsicaly safe for: EEx ia IIC T6 Tamb: -54ºC to 375ºC.
