Vibration Transducer 4-128

Product catalog summary
Applications
  • Aircraft Engines
  • Industrial Turbines
  • Test Cells
Features
  • Self-generated, high-level, low impedance output
  • Operates up to +700°F
  • Weighs only 2 ounces
Description

The CEC 4-128 Vibration Transducer is designed for turbine applications, particularly in high-temperature environments where other transducers may fail. It offers a simplified system with low impedance and high-level output, eliminating the need for special amplifiers. The transducer is lightweight and adaptable to various mounting configurations, making it suitable for space-limited applications.

Technical Specifications
  • Sensitivity: Varies by model, refer to Table 1
  • Dynamic Range: Frequency 45 Hz to 1500 Hz, Amplitude 0.10 inch peak-to-peak, Acceleration 0.5 g to 50 g
  • Frequency Response: ±6% of mean sensitivity
  • Temperature Range: -65°F to +700°F
  • Weight: 2.0 oz nominal
Construction and Operation

The transducer uses a seismic magnet moving on precision bearings, with a coil attached to the case. Movement between the magnet and coil generates the output signal, proportional to velocity. The system is air-damped and operates above its natural frequency.

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify the type number and any optional cable and connector assemblies. Mating connectors and cable assemblies are not included and must be ordered separately.

Approvals
  • North America: CSA C/US Class I, Division I & II, Groups A, B, C, and D
  • European: ATEX EEx ia IIB or IIC T6 - T1, EEx nA II T6 - T1 X

Vibration Transducer 4-128-1

4-128 Applications • Aircraft Engines • Industrial Turbines • Test Cells Features • Self-generated, high level, low impedence output • Operates to +700°F • Weighs only 2 ounces Description CEC designed the 4-128 Vibration Transducer for turbine applications. You can use them in turbine hot sections where high temperatures can cause problems with other transducers. The system is simplified due to the low impedence, high level output that can drive AC meters, recorders, and control electronics without using special amplifiers. They have low sensitivity to transverse accelerations, and you can mount them in any plane. These instruments are especially valuable where space is limited, and where heavier transducers would invalidate test results. They adapt easily to your installation because models are available in a variety of mounting configurations, connector orientations and sensitivities. Rugged construction and design simplicity insure high reliability and long service life. The 4-128 is factory repairable. CEC’s 4-128 Vibration Transducers employ a seismic magnet that moves on precision bearings. A coil is attached to the case, and movement between the magnet and coil produces the ouput signal when the case vibrates. This air-damped system operates above its natural frequency and provides output proportional to velocity.
