Description

The MiniSense 100NM vibration sensor utilizes a rugged, flexible Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric sensing element configured in a cantilever design. This construction generates a high-voltage charge output proportional to acceleration, making it suitable for connection to charge amplifiers or high-impedance measurement circuits. Its shielded active area minimizes electrical noise interference, ensuring stable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Engineered for operation below its resonant frequency, the sensor delivers excellent linearity and a broad dynamic range for detecting both continuous vibration and discrete impact events. The solderable pins facilitate secure PCB mounting, offering a compact and reliable solution for cost-sensitive vibration monitoring applications across industrial, automotive, and security domains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of the MiniSense 100 sensor?

The MiniSense 100 is a piezoelectric vibration sensor that outputs a high-impedance charge signal, quantified as 16 picoCoulombs per g (pC/g). This requires a charge amplifier or a high-input-impedance voltage amplifier (noting its 65 mV/g voltage sensitivity) to condition the signal for measurement by data acquisition systems or microcontrollers.

How should I mount and wire this vibration sensor?

The sensor features solderable pins for permanent PCB mounting and supports both horizontal and vertical orientation. Ensure a secure mechanical connection to the monitored surface. Electrically, connect the output pins to a charge amplifier circuit. The shielded construction helps reduce noise, but proper grounding and use of shielded cable is recommended for long wire runs.

What is the operational frequency range for this sensor?

The MiniSense 100 provides a useful sensing frequency band up to 200 Hz (12,000 RPM). It is designed to operate below its resonant frequency to maintain linearity. It is suitable for detecting vibrations and impacts within this sub-audio range, common in rotational machinery and structural monitoring applications.
