CA Series

CA-72 Series Acceleration Transducer

The CA-72 Series Acceleration Transducer is a piezoelectric type acceleration vibration
transducer. Generally, the vibration of rotating machinery supported by anti-friction
bearings may include high frequencies. Therefore, it is normal to measure the vibration
using a piezoelectric pickup with broad frequency characteristics.
All types can be driven by standard power (18 to 30V DC, 2 to 10 mA) for the
piezoelectric pickup which is standardized to a sensitivity of 100mV/9.8m/s2, thereby
facilitating connection to general purpose measuring instruments.

■ Main Functions
