Product catalog summary
Specifications
ASC's IEPE Industrial accelerometers, models P311A15 and P311A25, are designed for condition and structural health monitoring. They feature dynamic ranges of ±32g, ±80g, and ±160g, with a high resonance frequency and wide bandwidth up to 6kHz. These accelerometers offer an excellent price-performance ratio and come with options for side or top connectors, customized cable lengths, and metric mounting studs. They maintain a ±5% tolerance on sensitivity for precision models and are DAkkS calibrated.

Applications
The accelerometers are suitable for various industries, including railway engineering, gearbox monitoring, rotating machinery, steel mills, paper and pulp, and food processing.

Description
The P311A15 and P311A25 models are analog voltage output sensors based on piezoelectric compression design, providing high rigidity and shock resistance. They are housed in rugged stainless steel, corrosion-proof, and chemical-resistant casings, operating over a temperature range of -55°C to +140°C. The sensors are environmentally sealed to IP68 and can withstand shocks up to 5000g. They feature a 2-pin MIL-C-5015 type connector and can be fitted with an integral cable. The P311A15 has a side exit connector, while the P311A25 has a top exit connector.

Piezoelectric IEPE Technology
The accelerometers use piezoelectric ceramics and operate over a frequency range from 0.2Hz to 10kHz. They are IEPE sensors with a built-in preamplifier and charge to voltage converter, transforming high-impedance charge output into low-impedance voltage output. They operate on a constant-current supply and use a two-wire coaxial cable for power and signal output.

Typical Specifications
Dynamic range options include 32g, 80g, and 160g, with sensitivities of 250mV/g, 100mV/g, and 50mV/g, respectively. The frequency response ranges from 0.5Hz to 6kHz, with a resonance frequency of 20kHz for P311A15 and 22kHz for P311A25. The shock limit is 5000g, and the sensors have a bias voltage of 11±3 V DC.

Environmental and Physical Characteristics
The sensors are made with PZT sensing elements and stainless steel cases. They are isolated and have an insulation resistance greater than 100 MΩ. The operating and storage temperature range is -55°C to +140°C, and they are sealed to IP68 standards. The P311A15 weighs 185 grams, and the P311A25 weighs 125 grams.

Calibration and Ordering Information
Factory calibration is provided, with optional DIN ISO 17025 calibration available for precision models. The sensors can be ordered with different sensitivity tolerances and connector types. Accessories include various mounting threads and cable options, such as polyurethane, braided ETFE, and silicon cables, each suited for different industrial environments.

Industrial Piezoelectric Accelerometer ► Uniaxial ► IEPE (Integrated Electronic Piezoelectric) ► Stainless Steel Housing ► Voltage Output ► IP68 Dynamic Ranges ► High Resonance ► Wide Bandwidth (±1db, 6kHz) ► Excellent Price-Performance Ratio ► Side Connector or Top Connector Piezoelectric IEPE Technology ASC's Industrial accelerometers are made of piezoelectric ceramics and are usable over a wide frequency range from 0.2Hz to 10kHz. The accelerometers are IEPE (Integrated Electronics PiezoElectric) sensors that produce an output voltage proportional to the input acceleration. The sensors feature a built-in preamplifier and a charge to voltage converter that transforms the high-impedance charge output from the piezoelectric ceramic (Lead Zirconate Titanate, PZT) into a low-impedance voltage output able to drive long cables. ASC's IEPE sensors operate on a constant-current supply and use a simple two-wire coaxial cable for power input and signal output. Options ► Customised Cable Length ► Metric Mounting Studs ► ±5% Tolerance on Sensitivity (Precision Models) ► DAkkS Calibration Description ASC's IEPE Industrial accelerometers, P311A15 and P311A25, are analog voltage output sensors. These piezoelectric vibration sensors are used typically in condition monitoring and structural health monitoring applications. The sensors are based on a piezoelectric compression design, which provides high rigidity and excellent shock resistance. Applications ► Railway Engineering ► Gearbox Monitoring ► Rotating Machinery Monitoring ► Steel Mills ► Paper and Pulp Industry ► Food Processing Industry ASC's Industrial accelerometers, P311A15 and P311A25, feature a rugged stainless steel housing that is corrosion proof and chemical resistant. Types P311A15 and P311A25 operate over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +140°C. The sensors are environmentally sealed to IP68 grade and can withstand shocks up to 5000g’s. The industry standard 2-pin MIL-C-5015 type top and side exit connectors provide flexible mounting options. The sensors can be optionally fitted with an integral cable. ASC Type P311A15 has a side exit connector and Type P311A25 has a top exit connector. The standard versions have a measuring range of ±80g (Sensitivity: 100mV/g) and a H"-28 UNF mounting thread. For flexibility in mounting, metric mounting studs and threads (M6/M8/M10) are available as options.
