VSP01A is an ATEX-certified piezoelectric acceleration sensor for hazardous areas. It provides a -50…50 g vibration range and 2…10000 Hz frequency range. The sensor uses IEPE communication through intrinsically safe supply equipment. Its stainless-steel housing supports harsh industrial environments. The design is suitable for connection to external VSExxx diagnostic electronics.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
VSP01A is designed for hazardous-area vibration monitoring. Its ATEX and IECEx certifications support use in specified explosive atmospheres. The sensor uses intrinsically safe supply isolators. A single measurement axis provides focused vibration measurement. This makes it suitable for critical rotating equipment in hazardous locations.
The sensor measures vibration from -50 to +50 g. Its frequency range extends from 2 to 10000 Hz. Sensitivity is 100 mV/g with 0.1 mg noise density. The piezoelectric principle provides dynamic vibration measurement. IEPE communication connects the sensor to external diagnostic equipment.
VSP01A uses a stainless-steel housing. IP68 protection supports harsh environmental conditions. The sensor can operate between -55 and +90 °C. It withstands 5000 g shock. M8 × 1.25 mounting provides secure machine installation.
