Meggitt Sensing Systems releases Wilcoxon Research side exit accelerometer

The side exit 787T has the capability of monitoring in low clearance areas and can accommodate cable runs from any angle with the inclusion of a 1/4-28 or M6 captive screw.  Designed with a standard 3-pin MIL-C-5015 connector, the 787T is compatible with cabling infrastructure found in most industrial locations.  When used with vibration based field data collectors, the data collector powers both the vibration and temperature sensors simultaneously.

Characteristic of Wilcoxon Research brand sensors, the 787T is suited to the harshest industrial environments.  The accelerometer follows the rugged, hermetically sealed, ESD protected and EMI/RFI shielded format that has made Wilcoxon Research sensors the standard in many plants worldwide. Combining the accelerometer with the IP 68 rated R6GQ Viton® boot 3 socket connector and J9T3A Teflon® cable results in equipment that can be used in wet and dry environments and protected from a wide range of chemicals.

The 787T full performance accelerometer is ideal for route based or permanent mount applications, hosting a general purpose 100 mV/g vibration sensor with strict ±5% sensitivity tolerance and broad 3 dB frequency response from 0.5 Hz to 12 kHz. The temperature sensor provides a clean 10 mV/°C signal for tracking sensor mounting location temperatures from 2 to 120° C.

Similar to other vibration sensors in Wilcoxon Research’s extensive line of general purpose accelerometers, the 787T is appropriate for monitoring most industrial rotating equipment including fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, chillers, gearboxes, mixers and motors.  The inclusion of a temperature probe in the vibration sensor housing enhances a user’s ability to detect abnormal equipment component wear, resulting in reduced failure rates.  The addition of the 787T expands the Wilcoxon 787 product line, which includes accelerometers featuring dual output, 5 and 10% sensitivity tolerance, integral cable compatibility, and MIL-C-5015 or M12 connection offerings. Sensors within the 787 family also hold Class I Div 1 (Zone 0/1) and Class I Div 2 (Zone 2) certification. Continuous vibration monitoring is easily implemented with the full range of Wilcoxon Research accelerometers.

Quick Time to Value: How to Accelerate ROI in EAM Implementation

Enterprise asset management (EAM) implementation is sometimes misperceived as a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. But that perception is rooted in legacy approaches and outdated systems.

Optimize Operations in 7 Steps: The Strategic Art of Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

Effective maintenance planning and scheduling are essential to prevent unplanned asset failures from dictating your schedules and driving your budgets. In a reactive, unplanned environment, maintenance efforts falter—funds meant for proactive upkeep are instead wasted on waiting for parts, delayed equipment transfers, and emergency fixes that disrupt planned work

Case Study: How Waites Cemented $1 Million in Savings by Eliminating Unplanned Downtime for Buzzi Unicem USA

Minimizing downtime in the cement manufacturing industry is crucial, as each minute of operational delay can lead to significant financial repercussions.

Laying the Groundwork: The Role of Naming Conventions in Spare Parts Management Success

This article outlines best practices for overcoming these hurdles and highlights the foundational elements of a successful spare parts management approach.

Industry 5.0 Is Empowering Today’s Factory Workers and It’s a Long Overdue Revolution

The impacts of Industry 4.0 and its younger sibling, Industry 5.0, fall right down to today’s factory workers. While embedded automation and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 have the power to drive new efficiencies, they have also led to the introduction of more complex job roles and tasks, but for fewer frontline workers.

From Data to Action: The Complex Path of Advanced Analytics and Reliability in Industry

In today's industrial landscape, the buzz around advanced analytics is hard to ignore. Companies are increasingly looking to harness the power of data to drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive edge. However, the journey from collecting data to taking actionable steps based on that data is far from straightforward.

Engaging and Retaining the Asset Management Workforce

Employee engagement and retention are critical for the success of asset management organizations. High turnover rates and labor shortages pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, safety and overall workforce morale.

Do or Do Not

Data analysis is critical to understanding problems and decision-making. Analysis that is not followed up by an action is likely a wasted opportunity, but not always.

Achieving Trouble Free Bearing Life Through Defect Elimination

When a machine is designed, one of the major considerations the engineer must make is the selection of proper rolling element bearings. Some of the factors to consider in selecting bearings are shaft speeds, loads (both axial and radial), the environment they will run in, how to relube them, the duty cycle, etc.

Who Does This Belong To?

In today’s fast-paced connected world, you and your organization create an abundance of data. In the past, large corporations with multiple locations relied on in person site visits or information provided by the on-site team for updates to productivity in facilities. But what if there was a way to do this remotely?
