Introducing CTC new line product: VibeNavigator Data Collection Extension Poles – backed by the CTC Line’s Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
CTC offers a complete line of proximity probe systems designed, built and tested to endure prolonged use in the harshest industrial environments. PRO Line proximity probe systems are available in FFv, 8 mm, 11 mm, and 25 mm systems. The variety of probe sizes offered allows for accurate and precise machinery measurements for applications involving radial dynamic, axial rotor position, 4-20 mA, and thermal case expansion measurements.
A personal insight
I have recently attended the International Summer Programme at the University of Cambridge, as I have enthusiastically posted on LinkedIn. I had the privilege to listen and learn from the most amazing lecturers, on a wide variety of topics and issues and the personal...
Introducing CTC new line product: high-voltage isolated molded accelerometers – backed by the CTC Line’s Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
CTC has proudly launched their latest innovation, a series of new high-voltage isolated molded accelerometers.
These molded sensors feature a stainless steel base and connector with a polycarbonate-overmolded body, with 10 kV DC (7 kV AC) electrical isolation between the base and internal electronics. They’re ideal for wind turbine monitoring or other high-voltage vulnerable applications.
Available configurations include:
100 mV/g Top Exit Molded Sensors
MA150 – ± 15% | MA102 – ± 10% | MA202 – ± 5%
500 mV/g Top Exit Molded Sensors
MA153 – ± 15% | MA133 – ± 10% | MA233 – ± 5%
Loop Power Molded Sensors
HVLP202 – Output proportional to velocity | HVLP302 – Output proportional to acceleration
We recommend using CTC molded sensors with CTC grounded connectors for added noise protection:
A2AG Grounded Connector
A2NG Grounded Connector
