Model 786A General-Purpose Accelerometer

Brand: Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies
The top-exit Wilcoxon 100 mV/g broadband sensor provides long-lasting reliability with MTBF 25 years. The general-purpose accelerometer is ideal for monitoring machine vibration on a wide range of rotating equipment such as motors, pumps, fans, compressors, turbines and generators.

The 316L stainless steel casing provides rugged durability for most extreme environments. The sensing element is housed in a case-isolated Faraday shield, providing maximum protection from ground loops and RF interference. Certified versions are available for use in hazardous areas.
Features
  • Case isolated
  • Hermetically sealed
  • ESD-protected
  • EMI/RFI shielded
  • Reverse wiring protection
  • Manufactured in an approved ISO 9001 facility
