Performance Specifications


	Acceleration		Instruments that do not have integrated or associated sensors do not have a rated acceleration value. Searching by acceleration yields possible matches for those items. Enter the maximum acceleration to measure. One 'g' is the gravity on earth: 32.2 ft/sec² or 9.8m/s².
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Angular Acceleration		Input Range is for angular accelerometers only. These devices measure the angular rate of change per second squared in a rotating body. The typical unit of measure is radians / sec^2.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Frequency Range		The frequency range of interest. Enter "0" for DC response.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Minimum Accuracy		The minimum acceptable accuracy.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

	Number of Axes
	Your choices are...
	Single Axis		Devices are capable of measurement on only one axis.
	Biaxial		Devices are capable of measurement along two, usually orthogonal, axes.
	Triaxial		Devices are capable of measurement along three, usually orthogonal, axes presented as X, Y, and Z.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Sensor Technology


	Sensor Technology
	Your choices are...
	Capacitance		Capacitance accelerometers operate by sensing the electrical capacitance change between a static and dynamic state.
	Eddy Current		Eddy current accelerometers use an electrical current generated in conducting materials by fluctuating magnetic fields.
	Fiber Optic		Fiber optic accelerometers use a fiber optic sensor, particularly the Fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which measures the resulting wavelength shift from an applied mechanical load.
	Inductive		Inductive accelerometers use an inductive element with a moving core. The displacement of the mass due to the acceleration provides a variation of the inductance.
	MEMS		MEMS-based accelerometers use micro-electro mechanical system technology.
	Null-balance		In null-balance accelerometers, also referred to as servo force-balance accelerometers, the motion is detected and a force or torque is fed back that exactly cancels out the accelerating force or torque.
	Piezoelectric		Piezoelectric accelerometers use an electrical charge that is generated when stress is applied to a material, such as a crystal.
	Piezoresistive		Piezoresistive accelerometers measure the electrical resistance when a stress is applied to a material, such as a crystal.
	Resonance		Resonance accelerometers sense resonance generated by the inertia of a force to measure acceleration.
	Strain Gage		Strain gage accelerometers convert the inertia force of the mass into a strain measurement.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary type.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Sensor Types & Outputs


	Device Type		Think of products as belonging to general categories based on what they are designed to do and how they will be used. The 'category' criteria attempts to distinguish 'unpacked' sensors that might be used as part of a larger sensor from, say, a gauge which can be read just by looking at it.
	Your choices are...
	Sensor / Transducer		Devices are either a raw sensor or more complex transducer. Transducers can communicate either by voltage or current loop.
	Transmitter		Transmitters are more complex, include packaging and/or powered signal conditioning, and produce an output such as DC voltage, 4-20mA, etc.
	Switch		Switch devices either make or break contact when a certain activation or vibration level is achieved.
	Other		Other unspecified or proprietary devices.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Sensor Output
	Your choices are...
	Acceleration		The output supplied is a function of acceleration.
	Velocity		The output supplied is a function of linear velocity.
	Displacement		The output supplied is a function of proximity or displacement.
	Temperature		The sensor also senses and outputs temperature data.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary vibration sensor outputs.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Sensor Mounting


	Sensor Mounting
	Your choices are...
	Adhesive Base		Sensors have a self-adhesive base, or are designed to be glued or epoxied to the machine surface.
	Magnetic Base		Sensors have a magnetic base for easy mounting.
	Stud or Bolt-on		Sensors are mounted with a stud or bolt.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary sensor mounting types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Features


	Features
	Your choices are...
	Battery Powered		Batteries supply the main power for the device operation. This is not for backup supply.
	Corrosion Resistant		Corrosion-resistant alloys can be formulated for a wide range of aggressive well bore conditions. However, cost generally determines the viability of any particular completion design. Alloys with high chrome content are commonly used for tubing strings.
	Event Triggered		Device can be set to capture/log data when an event happens.
	Explosion Proof		The sensor is explosion proof.
	Filters		Devices are equipped with special signal processing or filtering (Butterworth, Bessel, etc).
	Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric (IEPE)		Integrated electronics piezo electric accelerometers conform to the IEPE standard and have a piezo device inside that isolates it from the outside environment. Proprietary names for the IEPE standard include ICP®, CCLD, Isotron®, Deltratron®, Piezotron®, and others.
	Internet-of-Things (IoT)		Internet-of-Things is a network of devices which communicate with one another allowing for data communication.
	Intrinsically Safe		Intrinsically safe (IS) is an adjective for equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most ignited concentration. The IS terminations and wiring may be brought into any hazardous location of any group classification for which it is accepted without requiring explosion proof housing or other means of protection.
	Radiation Hardened		Radiation-hardened devices are constructed of materials designed to withstand high-energy gamma radiation. Ratings are expressed in units such as permissible rads in total accumulated dose (TAD).
	Sealed		Sealed units provide constant operating conditions.
	Self Test / Diagnostics / Self Calibrating		The instrument has self-test or diagnostic ability.
	Self Generating		The device requires no external power supply for operation.
	Wireless		Wireless communication allows the device to be untethered from cables.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary features.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Environment


	Maximum Shock		This is the maximum shock that devices must be able to handle. Products that are "typical" may not provide the maximum shock value explicitly. Use this value only when working with extremes.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Maximum Vibration		This is the maximum vibration that devices must be able to handle. Products that are "typical" may not provide the maximum vibration value explicitly. Use this value only when working with extremes.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Operating Temperature		The temperature ranges over which devices must operate.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
