Seismic Equipment Accessories
Seismic accessories are used to properly install your vibration sensors on your rotating and reciprocating machinery from mounting the sensor on the machine to connecting it to a monitoring system or control system, we have what you need to get the job done. Whether you want to run an armored cable or cable in conduit, we have you covered.
Our bushings, mounting adapters, junction boxes, cable assemblies, and conduit fittings can improve your installation efficiency, even in the face of heavy industrial use. Installers can use these seismic equipment accessories to facilitate their work via industry proven mounting technologies. It’s important to choose seismic accessories based not only on the size of the equipment, but also on the individual circumstances of the operation.
Mechanical / Electrical Connections
Our seismic accessories offer robust mechanical and electrical connections for industrial use. Our splash-proof connectors and armored cables offer ease of installation. For conduit applications, many customers have used our conduit elbow to facilitate sensor and cable installations.
When conduit is used, ensure that flexible conduit is used within two feet (0.6 meters) of the sensor. This allows the sensor to move prior to any rigid conduit. When using armored cable, ensure that adequate bend radiuses are used to prevent damaging the cable within the armor.
Customers have found that when they do not have adequate clearance to take portable data measurements, mounting a permanent seismic sensor along with an armored cable to a patch panel has been an effective way to gain access to the measurement location.
5539 BNC Patch Panel 4
This module can accept up to four separate dynamic signal inputs and is meant to provide easy access to dynamic data. The Metrix 5539 BNC Patch Panel 4 is a DIN rail mounted BNC interface module that accepts up to four two-wire sensor inputs and provides isolated BNC outputs for permanently installed sensors or transmitters. It acts as a terminal block to transfer the two-wired dynamic signal to BNC jacket accessible format. This BNC interface unit does not supply sensor excitation. If using a transmitter, the 4-20mA circuit supplies the dynamic signal excitation without impacting the 4-20mA signal.
Cables & Accessories
A wide variety of cables that can be used with various applications for the sensors and transmitters that Metrix provides. Seismic vibration cables and accessories are used so you can get the most out of your vibration sensor or transmitter. Composed of multiple elements, a seismic vibration cable (and its accessories) will provide accurate electrical signals for monitoring systems, control systems and analysis. Operators can rely on the data from Metrix cables to help them differentiate real vibration from noise. Metrix provides a variety of accessories, including two-wire cable, high-temperature cable, armored cables, strain reliefs and bulk cable.
Conduit Elbows and Unions
These products are used for the ease of installation of Metrix vibration sensors and transmitters.
Mounting Adapters
A wide range of bushings, sleeves, pads, and more are available for seamless sensor and transmitter mounting.
Flat Base to Stud Mount Adapters
With five different adapter kits available, there are plenty of options to suit your vibration monitoring project.
Explosion Proof Housing
These provide a means to employe Metrix sensors in a Class 1 Div 1 or Zone 0/1 hazardous area environment.
Cable Grip Strain Reliefs
Cable Grip Strain Reliefs are intended to hold the cable, whether bare cable or armored, to the enclosure without putting strain on the cable wire connections inside the enclosure.
