electronics within the sensor. This maximum is closely related to the 10 Hz 8.0

It is possible to have vibration signals at low frequencies, which

frequencies (see figure 4).
Using these methods, noise values are often given in µg/√Hz or
10–6 g/ √Hz. For example, the table of noise levels in Figure 4
lists noise at 10 Hz = 8 µg/√Hz. For a frequency bandwidth of
1 HZ (for example 9.5 Hz to 10.5 Hz), √Hz Value becomes “1”

TECH SENSOR OVERLOADING
TIP A common problem in industrial vibrations monitoring application is sensor overload. As discussed
elsewhere for a given sensor sensitivity and powering there is a limit to the total amount of vibration
(usually 50g to 80g for a 100 mV/g sensor) that can be measured. When the total vibration limit is
exceeded, erroneous data will be produced. As shown in Figure 5, the time wave data will exhibit a clipped signal
and the frequency data will show excessive low frequency vibration commonly known as a “ski-slope” effect. This
erroneous data will confuse data analysis and possibly lead to improper fault diagnosis. To test for sensor overload,
a lower sensitivity sensor could be substituted. Use of a 10mV/g sensor versus a 100mV/g unit will provide 10
times the vibration range (500 g’s vs. 50 g’s). The additional range will allow the user to accurately measure the
total vibration present and select the most suitable sensitivity for the application. Another test method is to use a
“mechanical filter,” such as a piece of rubber or even a business card which can be temporarily placed between the
sensor and machine. This type of mechanism will filter out much of the high frequency vibration which may be
overloading the sensor. If the clippings and ski-slope are no longer present, the original sensor was most likely
overloaded. Using an accelerometer with a lower sensitivity will provide enough range for the application. Beware,
however, that a lower sensitivity accelerometer will give less output for a given vibration level (and lower signal to
noise ratio) which may impair acquisition of low amplitude data. Also note that sensor overload is one of many
causes of ski slope data.

HERMETIC SEALING AND TEST METHODS
TECH
Loosely defined as a “metal to metal weld, braze, solder or metal to glass fusion,” hermetic sealing is a vague (and
often abused) term. Even a porous weld would qualify as hermetic even though its ability to prevent contamination TIP
would be negligible. Epoxy sealed sensors are not considered hermetic. In order to quantify and compare levels of hermetic
sealing, we can use an example leakage scale (see table below) where the leakage rate of helium is stated in cc/second at 1
atmosphere of pressure. Wilcoxon industrial sensors have the highest hermetic seal rating in the industry. Wilcoxon uses the
Helium Leak Test (HLT) to qualify the sealing of all sensor designs and maintains a continuous monitoring program to insure the
proper sealing of all hermetically rated accelerometers.

10–8 Typical Wilcoxon Industrial Accelerometers 3.22 years HLT
10–9 Pacemaker 32 years HLT
Bubble Testing (simplified description)

A bubble test is performed by subjecting units to be tested to a pressurized atmosphere. 50 to 100 Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) would
be typical of the pressure used. The units are exposed, typically, for thirty minutes to one hour. At the end of the pressure soak the
units are submerged under water and observed to see if bubbles form on the surface, bubbles are continuously formed and break free,
or a stream of bubbles emanate from the unit under test. The lowest leak rates detectable by bubble testing are around 1 x 10-5 cc/
second.
Helium Leak Test (simplified description)
HLT is performed by placing units to be tested in a chamber and then pressurizing that container with Helium. Pressures of 90 to 120
PSI are typical of the exposure for standard leak tests. Wilcoxon uses 120 PSI. After an appropriate time of exposure, the units are
removed and, one at a time, placed in a test chamber. A vacuum is drawn and, when the vacuum is low enough, the remaining
escaping gasses are sent to a mass spectrometer tuned to detect Helium. The HLT equipment can detect leak rates to 1 x 10-9 and
below. Units with leak rates above about 1 x10-3 will saturate the detector and are usually considered “gross leakers.” A “gross leaker”
is not considered hermetic, even though it is welded and may look sealed!
Wilcoxon Quality
All accelerometers rated as “hermetic” on the data sheet are qualified using HLT. Wilcoxon uses the results of HLT in setting
parameters for welding equipment to insure consistent hermetic qualified welds. Since all hermetically rated accelerometer designs
have been subjected to pressure testing of 120 PSI, they are rated to withstand 100 PSI of pressure from submersion. Since Helium
molecules are very tiny compared to water molecules, passing an HLT insures surviving underwater submersion for an indefinite
period of time.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE SHOCK OVERLOAD PROTECTION, RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)
INTERFERENCE SUSCEPTIBILITY AND INTERMODULATION OR WASHOVER DISTORTION. TECH
Sensors used with a magnet in a walkaround program need to incorporate shock protection to protect against the very high TIP
acceleration levels associated with “snapping” the magnet onto equipment. Because tests at Wilcoxon have shown shock levels
due to magnet mounting can reach several thousand g’s, a protection level of 5,000 g was built into all industrial accelerometers.
High levels of RF signals in the area of an accelerometer have potential to introduce spurious signals which can be mistaken for machinery
vibration. To protect against these false signals, Wilcoxon uses an internal shield within the sensor and employs the highest level RFI
protection circuitry in the industry. (Refer to Junction Boxes for more information).
Very high frequency signals can generate “washover” in the usable band of an accelerometer. Washover shows up as false signals that
could be misinterpreted as vibration data. Also known as intermodulation, generation of these signals is common in high noise
TORING environments. Many Wilcoxon industrial sensors protect against washover distortion with the use of special filtering techniques.

The job of the 4-20mA Vibration Transmitter is to indicate a machinery
problem, like an early warning alarm. Specific details require a higher level
of vibration data collection and analysis. If needed, a good extension to the 4-

systems such as, vibration data collectors and analysis software.

SPECIALTY
Specialty sensors are accelerometers that have
been developed to fulfill specific customer needs.
These needs vary by form, fit or function and
include such changes as temperature range,
mechanical packaging, or frequency response.
The delineating characteristic of the specialty
sensor is that it is engineered for a particular
application.

order to read slow speed vibration signals. Figure 1: Acceleration & Displacement Levels Relative

All Wilcoxon low frequency accelerometers incorporate a
low-pass filter within the on-board amplifier electronics. Low frequency measurement usually involve
low levels of vibration. The accelerometer’s mechanical gain yield very high signal levels within the
amplifier. High frequency signals could easily excite the resonance of the accelerometer and cause
the amplifier to reach maximum voltage and saturate. This results in a “clipped” signal and distortion.
Unless a high sensitivity accelerometer incorporates this protection, it could easily lead to obscured
or false data.

High Frequency Accelerometers
High frequency accelerometers are used on machinery with gear mesh or small
bearings such as high-speed machine tool spindles and compressors. High
frequency sensors are available with 100 mV/g or 10 mV/g output sensitivity. The
10 mV/g version is most commonly used due to its high amplitude range which can
prevent sensor overload.
As previously discussed there is little vibration in terms of displacement and velocity
at high frequency; however tremendous amounts of acceleration amplitudes may
be present. It is not uncommon for vibration amplitudes on a very high speed
gearbox to exceed 80 g peak prior to failure. High frequency accelerometers with
low voltage sensitivity will prevent sensor overload from these high amplitudes.
Whereas a 100 mV/g accelerometer may overload at 50g peak, a 10 mV/g sensor
will measure to 500g peak.
Because high frequency sensors are generally smaller and lighter weight than their
general purpose or low frequency counterparts, they have the advantage of less
mass loading (mounting of the sensor will have less tendency to change the
vibration of the structure under test). However, the signal to noise ratio will be
reduced with high frequency units because of the lower sensor sensitivity. If
measurement of low-level signals is necessary, check the narrowband noise levels
of the sensor.

High Temperature Accelerometers
Wilcoxon Research offers three options for applications above the normal operating
range of industrial accelerometers, greater than 250ºF (120ºC). The FireFET® series,
models 793-6 and 797-6, is designed for continuous operation up to 302ºF (150ºC).
These sensors are typically used where extra temperature protection is needed, such as
the dryer section of a paper machine.
If an installation is greater than 302ºF, a special type of accelerometer system is
necessary. The 376/CC701HT system consists of three parts: sensing accelerometer
(376), charge converter (CC701HT) and connecting cable. Using this arrangement, the
temperature-sensitive amplifier (charge converter) is removed from the sensor and
placed within a separate component outside the intense heat. One end of the charge
converter will be connected to the sensor via the supplied cable and the other will be
available to connect to analysis or acquisition equipment. As with all “charge mode”
sensors, care must be taken to secure the connecting cable when taking data. Movement
of this cable may induce false signals (triboloectric effect).

dual vibration & temperature sensors
Dual Vibration
& Temperature
Sensors
Wilcoxon Research designs a number of sensors which provide more than one output.
Wilcoxon has some sensors that provide both a vibration signal and a temperature signal.
These dual output sensors are useful for those situations where users wish to know the
temperature of the machine where the vibration is measured. One example is in paper
machines where users want to know the temperature at the mounting locations in the
dryer section.
The vibration portion of the sensor is powered in the same fashion as all other industrial
vibration sensors. Voltage is supplied to the sensor through a constant-current diode and
the sensor maintains a characteristic Bias Output Voltage (BOV). The sensor
superimposes the vibration upon the BOV where it is available for the user.
The temperature sensor operates in a similar manner in that it must be powered through
a constant-current diode and the DC bias voltage relates to the temperature. The
temperature measurement is done using a special integrated circuit “chip” that produces
a DC output voltage signal. The signal changes by 10 millivolts per degree Kelvin. Since
a one degree Kelvin change is the same as a one degree Celsius change, the only
difference between them is in the reference temperature, where 0ºCelsius is 273º Kelvin.
As an example, at a temperature of 300ºK (27ºC) the DC temperature signal would be
3.00 Volts DC.

Specialty
Sensors
The specialty sensors are modifications of Wilcoxon accelerometer and hydrophone designs
to meet specific application requirements. The Zerkometer™ and leak detection sensors are
specialty sensors that have found wide use and acceptance in industry.
Zerkometer™
The Zerkometer accelerometers are designed to be mounted where zerk fittings exist to
grease bearings. Since the grease fittings are usually located very close to the bearing they
provide an ideal location for accelerometers to acquire dynamic vibration data. The
Zerkometer has a tapered pipe thread base, a grease channel through the base and a zerk
fitting on the side to allow users continued access to grease the bearing using existing zerk
greasing equipment. The Zerkometer has excellent frequency response using the pipe
thread mounting base and can be used for most high frequency analysis techniques.
Leak Detection Sensors
Wilcoxon manufactures two types of leak detection sensors, accelerometers and
hydrophones. The accelerometers are used like microphones to “listen” to the vibration of the
ground while the hydrophones are used to “listen” to the sounds of leaks in the piping. The
accelerometers are very high sensitivity to provide the highest levels of signals to facilitate
hearing the leaks through vibration in the earth caused by the noise of the leak.
The leak detection hydrophone is a pressure sensor that is directly coupled to the fluid
system to allow listening to the acoustic signal produced by a leak. The sensor has a pipe
thread base for mounting directly to the piping. There is an air release valve built in to permit
easy purging of the air after the sensor is installed. These hydrophones have been well
accepted for detecting and locating leaks.

Test & Measurement Sensors
Test and measurement accelerometers are generally characterized by smaller size than
industrial units and typically use a 10-32 co-axial connector to connect to measurement
equipment. While they are sometimes used in industrial environments for machinery
vibration collection, they are usually used in laboratories and similar environments.
Modal and structural testing are the typical applications for test and measurement
sensors.

Seismic Sensors
Combine a supersensitive piezoelectric accelerometer, an ultra low-noise amplifier, excellent
electrical/mechanical isolation, and the result will be unmatched performance in measuring
low-level vibration.
The Model 731A Ultra-Quiet Seismic Accelerometer can measure vibration levels down to the
sub micro-g range by using an ultra-low noise internal amplifier and a high sensitivity inertial
sensing element. It contains no moving parts, is not sensitive to magnetic fields, and has a
relatively low mass.
The Model P31 Amplifier enhances the capabilities of the 731A by providing special low noise
signal amplification and conditioning by providing 2.4mA constant current needed to power
the accelerometer’s internal amplifier.
Some common applications include: earthquake detection, geophysics, geothermal develop-
ment, structural analysis and mine safety.
Wilcoxon considers seismic sensors to be accelerometers characterized by good low
frequency response, high output sensitivity and having a low noise floor. They are primarily
designed to measure low amplitude low frequency signals in applications such as structural
monitoring and vibration isolation verification. Accelerometers used for earth seismic
monitoring should have a very low noise floor. Wilcoxon’s 731A has a noise floor very near
the New High Noise Model (NHNM) developed by the U.S. Department of Interior.
Seismic accelerometers have internal amplifiers similar to the industrial accelerometers. They
TEST & MEASUREMENT
are powered using the same method that is, using a constant-current diode to provide power
to the accelerometer. The seismic accelerometer amplifier output has a characteristic Bias
Output Voltage (BOV) and the vibration signal is superimposed upon this DC voltage level.
The accelerometer circuit is isolated from the case making installation and mounting simple,
while the two-wire powering and signal method simplifies the wiring.

shakers & accessories
Shakers &
Accessories
Wilcoxon Research manufactures instruments which generate vibration for structural research
and modal testing. The vibration generator or “shaker” produces dynamic force operating on the
mass reaction principle. Basically, a heavy mechanical component of the shaker is caused to
oscillate by the drive signal from the power amplifier. A reaction force is generated, which excites
the structure under test.
We manufacture two types of shakers – the low frequency electromagnetic shakers and the high
frequency piezoelectric shakers.
Electromagnetic Shakers
The electromagnetic shaker operates similiarly to a common speaker. A coil is driven within a
permanent magnet field. The dynamic electromagnetic coil field causes the motion of a heavy
mechanical component. In most models, the coil is attached to the structure. The heavy ring-
shaped magnets are suspnded and oscillate around the coil. The electromagnetic shaker
generates force in proportion to input current.
Piezoelectric Shakers
The piezoelectric shakers utilize piezoelectric ceramic disks, which change thickness proportional
to an applied voltage. These disks are sandwiched between a heavy mass and a light fixture,
which attaches to the test structure. Although the displacement is very small, the use of multiple
disks and high drive voltages can produce large forces at high frequencies.
Powering Systems
TEST & MEASUREMENT
A power source is required to drive the shakers. The electromagnetic shakers are driven by
conventional methods from an audio power amplifier. The pieozoelectric shakers must be driven
by high voltage and require an impedance matching network between the power amplifier and
shaker. This impedance matching network steps up the drive voltage for the high force output.

Underwater Accelerometers
Wilcoxon Research, Inc. underwater accelerometers are designed to be used virtually
anywhere under continuous submersion. They are resistant to galvanic corrosion and
built to withstand the high pressures of deep submergence. Titanium cases are useful
when it is desired to have the accelerometer be highly resistant to galvanic corrosion or
Pressure vs. Depth
mounted on titanium structures. Stainless steel can be used for applications where the
accelerometer will be mounted on cast iron or mild steel structures since they are near 1 atmosphere ~~ 14.7 psi
one another on the galvanic series list. 33.9 feet of water ~~ 1 atmosphere
1,500 feet ~~ 650 psi
The ability to retain a hermetic seal while submerged is paramount for underwater
accelerometers. All Wilcoxon underwater accelerometers are designed for continuous
exposure to 650 PSI of water pressure. Helium leak testing is used to verify the
hermeticity of the welding for accelerometers.
Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion is an electrochemical action of two dissimilar metals in the presence
of an electrolyte and an electron conductive path. It occurs when dissimilar metals are in Abbreviated Galvanic Series Table
contact. It is recognizable by the presence of a buildup of corrosion at the joint between
the dissimilar metals. For example, when aluminum alloys or magnesium alloys are in Noble (least active)
contact with steel (carbon steel or stainless steel), galvanic corrosion can occur and Platinum
accelerate the corrosion of the aluminum or magnesium. Platinum is the most resistant Gold
and magnesium is the least resistant to galvanic corrosion. Graphite
Silver
The natural differences in metal potentials produce galvanic differences, such as the Titanium
galvanic series in sea water. If electrical contact is made between any two of these •
•
materials in the presence of an electrolyte, current must flow between them. The farther •
apart the metals are in the galvanic series, the greater the galvanic corrosion effect or 18-8-3 Stainless steel, type 316
rate will be. Metals or alloys at the upper end are noble while those at the lower end are 18-8 Stainless steel, type 304
active. The more active metal is the anode or the one that will corrode. Control of Cast iron
galvanic corrosion is achieved by using metals closer to each other in the galvanic Mild steel
series or by electrically isolating metals from each other. •

hydrophones
Hydrophones
Hydrophones
Hydrophones are, quite simply, underwater microphones. Wilcoxon’s hydrophones are
built to withstand the rigors of continuous underwater exposure at the specified depths
continuously. These units are designed to be used in sea water or fresh water
environments.
Each hydrophone has a built-in electronic amplifier. The hydrophone output is a dynamic
signal superimposed upon the Bias Output Voltage (BOV). Hydrophone sensitivity is
traditionally specified as a decibel (dB) level referred to 1 Volt per micropascal (V/µPa).
Hydrophone Sensitivity
The traditional standard for calibration sensitivity is dB with respect to Volts/µPa.
Underwater acousticians are familiar with this term while those outside of acoustics
may be more familiar with terms such as Volts/PSI.
1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 Newton/Square Meter (N/m2)
1 micro-Pascal (µPa) = 10-6 Pascal
1 Pound per Square Inch (PSI) = 6,894.8 Pascal
1 milli-Volt (µV) = 10-3 Volts
1 nano-Volt (µV) = 10-9 Volts
A sensitivity of 0 dB re 1V/µPa is equivalent to 1V/µPa of voltage sensitivity
A sensitivity of –120 dB re 1V/µPa is equivalent to 1V/Pa of voltage sensitivity
A sensitivity of –160 dB re 1V/µPa is equivalent to 10 µV/Pa of voltage sensitivity
A sensitivity of –160 dB re 1V/µPa is also equivalent to 68.9 V/psi of voltage

helicopter
Helicopter
Helicopter Sensors
A helicopter is a rotary winged aircraft. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, the rotor provides lift
and forward propulsion to the helicopter. The fuselage of the helicopter is essentially
balanced underneath the rotor. The helicopter presents a unique vibration scenario for
the rotor. It must not only have proper blade balance to minimize unbalance vibration
from the blades, but they also provide the lift to the vehicle. The blades themselves are
very complex as they must pitch and tilt as well as providing flight attitude control. Any
vibration of the rotor assembly will translate itself into vibration of the helicopter fuselage
suspended below. The fuselage will also be affected by the pressure waves produced by
the passage of the blades and set up vibration simply due to wave effects.
Wilcoxon has been manufacturing vibration accelerometers for many years that are
being used in helicopter Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) applications.
Wilcoxon vibration sensors are at work in the CH-53/MH-53. These sensors are used in
the rotor track and bearing monitoring. Specially designed sensors are fitted to the
swashplate for vibration monitoring at the rotor. Additional sensors are mounted
throughout the drive path to the tail rotor for monitoring vibration at critical points. Other
vibration sensors are used within the U.S. military in the Vibration Analysis and Diagnos-
tic System (VADS).

Switch Boxes / Termination Boxes
A cost effective method for obtaining data from permanently mounted accelerometers is the use of switch or
termination boxes. By providing a convenient termination for cables and easy connectivity, these boxes enable
safe and fast data collection when using portable acquisition systems. Switch boxes have a single BNC
connector for data collection and 6 or 12 channel rotary dial for channel selection. Termination boxes are not
switched, but provide a separate BNC connection for each channel. All Wilcoxon switch boxes have differential
switching (switching of both the signal and common). By not tying the commons for each channel together at
the box, greater noise immunity is achieved. Additional features unique to Wilcoxon Research include radio
frequency interference filtering, NEMA 4 or 4X ratings, optional bias output meter and optional cord grips /
conduit fittings.

TECH AVOIDING GROUND LOOPS
TIP
In order to provide proper shielding and prevent ground loops, shield and Non-isolated Readout
common grounding should be carefully considered. Ground loops are developed Accelerometer Equipment
when a common line (i.e. signal return/shield) is grounded at two points of

differing electrical potential (see Figure 1).
For sensors with coaxial cable, the center conductor carries the signal and power, while
the outer braid provides shielding and signal return. Normally, the cable shield is Ground Loop
electrically isolated from the sensor housing. This isolates the shield from the mounting
point of the machine and prevents ground loops. If a non-isolated sensor is used, it is
INDUSTRIAL
recommended that an isolated mounting pad be used to break possible ground loops. Figure 1: Ground Loop from Improper Grounding
For sensors using two conductor/shielded cable, the signal and power are carried on one Power/Signal
lead and the signal common on the other. The cable shield serves to protect the signal Signal Common
from ESD and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The shield should be grounded at only Readout
Equipment
one point, normally to the readout equipment (see Figure 2).
Note: In all cases it is very important that the cable shield terminations be properly
grounded. Failure to do so in high EMI/ESD environments can result in damage to the Internal Shield

Power / Signal Conditioning
With the exception of process control vibration transmitters (LPS™), most Wilcoxon industrial sensors require an
industry standard constant current DC power source. Generally, the power supply contains an 18 to 30 volt
source with a 2 to 10mA constant current diode (CCD) (see Figure 1). When other powering schemes are used,
consult with Wilcoxon’s customer service representatives.

DC bias voltage (also referred to as Bias Output Voltage or BOV). The DC bias voltage must be removed so
that the AC vibration signal oscillates positive and negative about 0 Volts. Removal of the DC bias is usually
accomplished with a blocking capacitor, which passes the AC output signal to the acquisition system. Most
Connector
monitors and sensor power supply units contain this blocking capacitor for AC coupling. If not included, a
Amplifier Shield blocking capacitor must be field installed.
Crystal
Amplitude Range and the Supply Voltage
All Wilcoxon accelerometers and velocity sensors have a preset DC bias output. Ideally the BOV is halfway
Isolation Layer
between the lower and upper cutoff voltages. The difference between the bias and cutoff voltages determines
Figure 1: Powering Schematic the voltage swing available for the sensor. The available voltage swing and the sensor sensitivity determine the
total vibration amplitude range (see Figure 2). Thus, an accelerometer with a sensitivity of 100 mV/g and a peak
output swing of 5 volts will have an amplitude range of 50 g peak.
Note: A supply voltage of 24 VDC or greater may extend the amplitude range to 100g peak. If a voltage source
lower than 18 volts is used, the amplitude range will be lowered accordingly. Custom bias voltages are available
for lower or higher voltage supply applications. Also, high temperatures (>200 F) can reduce the acceleration
range.
Supply Voltage

cases, they are included in the companion power unit or data acquisition system. Generally, battery powered
~ 2V Above Ground data collectors contain a 2 mA CCD to ensure long battery life. Line powered acquisition systems (where
Ground power consumption is not a concern) often contain 6 to 10 mA CCDs for driving long cables. For operation
above 212ºF (100ºC), where amplifier heat dissipation is a factor, limit the current to less than 6 mA.
Figure 2: Range of Linear Operation
If the power supply does not contain a CCD for sensor powering, one should be placed in series with the
voltage output of the supply. Note: Ensure that proper diode polarity is observed! CCDs are available from
Motorola and Siliconix (4 mA Part # 1N5312 and J510 respectively).
TROUBLESHOOTING WITH BIAS VOLTAGE
TECH The Bias Output Voltage is a useful tool for ensuring the proper connection and operation of Wilcoxon
Research accelerometers and Piezovelocity sensors. To measure the BOV, tee into the Power/Signal
TIP connection with a voltmeter or Wilcoxon HHM-101 Sensor Doctor. When properly connected and powered,
the sensor BOV should be within ±2 Volts of its nominal value (usually 12 Volts). If the bias voltage differs,
it may indicate a cable, connector or sensor problem. Refer to page 133 for the Trouble Shooting
Accelerometers Chart.
By evaluating the bias output voltage, timewave form and frequency signature of the vibration signal, most
W-14
sensor and installation problems can be identified. For more information, see Wilcoxon’s Technical Note #14.

cables & connectors
Cables &
Connectors
Cables
In addition to sensor construction and connector choices, the type of cable and cable
material must be carefully chosen to ensure proper operation. The two types of cables
most commonly used to connect an accelerometer to acquisition equipment are coaxial
and shielded multi-conductor. Coaxial cables carry the power and signal on an inner
conductor and have a shield or outer conductor which acts as the signal common.
Because coaxial cable works well with BNC and Microdot connectors, it is generally used
with either sensors in a walk-around mode or to connect electronic instrument
components together.
For most sensors, the shielded multi-conductor cable of choice will be a twisted pair,
shielded. This type of cable has two conductors, one power/signal and one common,
twisted together in order to provide differential cancellation that reduces EMI.
Surrounding the twisted pair is a foil or braided shield. Proper termination of the shield
will protect the conductors from airborne radio frequency interference. Because multi-
conductor cable is easy to terminate in the field and offers inherent immunity to
environmental noise, it is often the choice for permanent installations.
Besides the type of cable, coaxial or multi-conductor, the most important decision for
cable selection is jacket material. The intended environment will dictate requirements
such as temperature, chemicals, radiation, and moisture. Generally Teflon® provides the
best temperature and abrasion resistance, although it has a moderate radiation rating. In
addition, Teflon® generally cannot be used near certain applications, such as tobacco
plants. Polyvinylchloride (PVC) provides fair abrasion and chemical resistance, but PVC
manufacturers do not recommend its use above 221ºF (105ºC). Wilcoxon’s
Enviroprene™ jacket material is designed to provide excellent performance at a price less
than Teflon®. With the exception of very hot (>250ºF) and abrasive environments,
Enviroprene™ is generally recommended.
For long cable runs, the capacitance and resistance of the cable will begin to act as a
low-pass filter and cut-off higher frequency data. More supply current will help overcome
the resistance and push this to a higher frequency.

Connectors
Like sensor selection, choosing a connector to use for the accelerometer is highly
dependent on the environment of its intended use. Most industrial accelerometers,
piezovelocity sensors and process control vibration transmitters utilize the common 2-pin
military connector. Known by its standard designation of “MIL-C-5015”, this connector
style has provided a rugged, simple and cost effective means of connectivity since the
inception of industrial vibration monitoring. The MIL-C-5015-style connector is available
with a variety of boots and sealing methods for use in different environments.
Other connectors, such as BNC, 10-23 Microdot, bayonet and terminal strips, can be
used successfully in appropriate applications. However these connectors lack the
“Splashproof” option of the MIL-C-5015-style connectors and may not adequately resist
harsh environment moisture and contaminant penetration into the connector which can
short the electrical signal. Terminal strips, BNC connectors and other specialized
connectors are often used to connect the sensor cable at the acquisition equipment.
An option to having a connector at the accelerometer is an integral cable which attaches
directly to the sensor. Underwater sensors, for example, have integral cables which
enable deep submersion. Consideration must be given the type of sealing at the cable
entry location.
TECH SPLASHPROOF CONNECTORS

TIP Many manufacturers claim to have “Splashproof” connectors appropriate for harsh environments. In
order to qualify the level of sealing, each connector should have an IP (International Protection)
rating. Below is a chart describing the IP ratings:
LEVEL DESCRIPTION
IP 64 Protection against water splash
IP65 Protection against water jet
IP66 Protection against powerful water jet
IP 67 Submersible in water ≤ 1 meter for 30 minutes

When using Piezoelectric sensors to measure vibration, the sensor must directly contact the Resonance

Probe Tips
Probe tips require very little surface preparation and are easy to use. Tips should be slightly
rounded at the point and maintained free of burrs.
Magnets
In all applications, the machine surface must be magnetically attractive and free of paint
chips and scale. Painted surfaces are acceptable, but should be clean and well maintained.
The magnet must be clean and free of metal particles and burrs. Magnets are available for
flat and curved surfaces. Coupling fluids, such as oil, greatly improve measurements with flat
bottom magnets and should be used wherever possible.
Quick Mounts
Quick mounts allow the sensor to be mounted rapidly with little effort. The coupling
resonance approaches cementing pad and stud mounted configurations. Quick mounts
consist of a special adapter mounted to the sensor and multiple mating pads on the machine.
The mating pad can be stud mounted or cemented to the mounting location. The QuickLINK®
system requires a less than one turn to mount the sensor, making walkaround collection
faster without compromising repeatability. QuickLINK® is only offered by Wilcoxon.
Permanent Mounting
Direct stud mounting, epoxy, and cementing pads are used for permanent installations. The
sensor can be directly mounted by tapping a hole into the structure and attaching the sensor
with a threaded stud. Stud mounting is viewed by users as the most reliable way to mount a
vibration sensor. Stud mounting will attain the maximum sensor frequency range. Cementing
pads can be epoxied in place of the tapped hole; the sensor is then mounted to the pad.
Cementing pads approach the capabilities of stud mounts when used properly. Procedures
should be evaluated with respect to frequency response, sensor/shield grounding, and
installation requirements. In some cases, the sensor can be mounted directly to the machine
using epoxy. Adhesive selection is critical for long-term reliability.
Threaded Stud
Stud mounting requires a tapped hole drilled directly into the structure. A threaded stud
provides electrical and mechanical connection between the sensor and machine. The
sensor requires a flat spot faced surface with a perpendicular tapped hole.
Cementing Pad
Cementing pads eliminate tapping into the structure, but provide high frequency
capability approaching stud mounts. The flat side is bonded to the machine with an
appropriate adhesive. The opposite side contains a 1/4-28 stud for mounting the sensor.
The proper installation leaves the pad and the sensor housing electrically isolated from
ground.

CALIBRATION / RECALIBRATION
CALIBRATION LEVEL ONE
No data is supplied or provided with the individual product. Product is tested on a pass/fail basis. 100% testing is
completed on bias output voltage and sensitivity. Sample lot quality tests are made on frequency response and
Resonance.
CALIBRATION LEVEL TWO

All data is recorded and retained at the Manufacturing Plant. A product report is shipped with the unit verifying that
it meets nominal specifications. The report shipped does not provide detailed testing information. 100% testing is
completed on bias output boltage and sensitivity. Sample tests are made on frequency response, and resonance.
Calibration is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
CALIBRATION LEVEL THREE

All data is recorded and a detailed report is provided with the product. Testing is completed on bias output
voltage, sensitivity, phase, transverse sensitivity (for compression units only), frequency response, and resonance.
CALIBRATION LEVEL FOUR

Same as Calibration level three, however it includes a certificate of calibration with the detailed report. All data is
recorded and a detailed report is provided with the product. Testing is completed on bias output voltage,
sensitivity, phase, transverse sensitivity (for compression units only), frequency response, and resonance.
RECALIBRATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Piezoelectric ceramic sensors are artificially aged during the production process. This ensures stable and
repeatable output characteristics for long term vibration monitoring programs. Recalibration is recommended
when the following conditions are required or suspected:
• To meet compliance regulations (contractual obligations, OSHA, ISO, etc.)
• Exposure to excessive temperatures or other extreme environment influences
• Mechanical shock exceeding the normal operational guidelines
• Physical damage
