Hansford Sensors

ATEX and IECEx-certified sensor options for potentially explosive environments, with additional hazardous-area certifications available.

The HS-100 provides AC acceleration output for use with data collectors and can be produced with a wide range of customised features. It operates at temperatures up to 150°C/300°F, while the HS-105 family extends the range to 250°C/480°F.

The HS-150 premium AC accelerometer range uses a shear construction method for fast settling time and stability across various applications. The more compact HS-170 is designed for use with data collectors. Both operate at temperatures up to 150°C/300°F.

The HS-172 and HS-173 are premium multi-axial sensors that enable vibration measurements to be taken across multiple axes simultaneously. They are designed for applications requiring a more comprehensive view of machine condition, with an operating temperature range up to 130°C/266°F.

Industrial cable assemblies for direct connection to M12 or MS-style connectors, with IP68/NEMA 6P sealing and multiple cable types available.

Data-collector cable assemblies compatible with commercially available instruments, including snap-on connectors designed to disconnect if caught by machinery.

DIN-rail-mounted modules for interfacing AC and 4–20mA accelerometers to provide alarming and protection for applications such as pumps and fans. The range includes the HS-429 with variable alarm and delay settings, along with charge amplifiers and direct velocity output units for high-temperature accelerometers.

Portable instruments for vibration and temperature measurement, accelerometer verification and vibration-monitoring system testing. The range includes the HS-620 and HS-630 vibration meters, HS-660 accelerometer checker and HS-661 vibration signal simulator.

Installation and connector tools supporting accurate sensor mounting and cable termination, including the HS-AA031 spot-facing toolkit for ¼-28 UNF, M6 and M8 mountings and the HS-AA122 crimping kit for 2- and 3-pin MS connector kits.

A comprehensive range of sensor mounting solutions, including HS-AS studs, grease adaptor mounts and HS-AM magnetic mounts, designed to provide secure and appropriate coupling between vibration sensors and machine surfaces.

The HS-050, HS-070 and HS-004 are OEM accelerometer capsules designed for customised systems, with operating temperatures up to 130°C/266°F. The HS-104 is a low-power option for low-voltage portable and battery-powered devices, with an operating temperature range up to 125°C/257°F.

Secure connection enclosures for data-collector applications, available with switching or unswitched connection points in various sizes, shapes and materials.
