Description

The MiniSense 100 vibration sensor utilizes a cantilever design with an inertial mass to provide high sensitivity at low frequencies. Its core is a rugged Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric sensing element, which generates a charge proportional to applied acceleration, offering excellent linearity and a wide dynamic range. This makes it suitable for detecting both continuous vibration and discrete impact events.

The sensor features a shielded active area to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Its solderable pins facilitate secure PCB mounting, and the design allows for potential mass modification (consult factory) to tailor frequency response and sensitivity for specific applications.

Key Features

  • High Sensitivity Output: Delivers 1 V/g (260 pC/g) for accurate measurement of low-level vibrations.
  • Optimized Low-Frequency Response: Resonance frequency up to 40 Hz, tailored for monitoring rotational machinery and structural vibrations.
  • Dual Mounting Orientation: Engineered for reliable performance in both horizontal and vertical mounting configurations.
  • EMI/RFI Shielded Design: Built-in shielding protects the signal path from external electromagnetic interference.
  • Robust PVDF Sensing Element: Withstands high mechanical shock and offers long-term durability.
  • Excellent Linearity: Provides <1% linearity for precise measurement across its dynamic range.
  • PCB-Mount Form Factor: Solderable pins enable direct and secure integration onto circuit boards.
  • High-Value Construction: Offers a reliable, industrially-proven sensing solution at an optimized performance-to-cost ratio.

Applications

  • Appliance Vibration Monitoring: Detecting load imbalance in washing machines and industrial dryers.
  • Vehicle Motion Sensing: Monitoring vibration in automotive security systems and telematics.
  • Industrial Machinery Health: Condition monitoring of motors, pumps, and fans for predictive maintenance.
  • Tamper and Impact Detection: Sensing shocks or unauthorized movement in security devices and enclosures.
  • Structural Vibration Analysis: Low-frequency vibration measurement in building and infrastructure monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal and sensitivity of the MiniSense 100 sensor?

The MiniSense 100 is a charge-mode piezoelectric sensor with a sensitivity of 260 picocoulombs per g (pC/g). This typically translates to approximately 1 Volt per g (V/g) when used with a standard charge amplifier or IEPE-compatible interface module. Its high sensitivity makes it suitable for detecting low-amplitude vibrations.

What is the frequency range and resonance of this vibration sensor?

The sensor is optimized for low-frequency vibration detection, with a resonance frequency up to 40 Hz (equivalent to 2,400 RPM). Its cantilever design with an inertial mass provides high sensitivity within this range, making it ideal for monitoring machinery like motors, fans, and rotating equipment where vibration signatures are typically below 40 Hz.

How do I mount and wire the MiniSense 100 to my system?

The sensor mounts directly to a PCB via its solderable pins and can be oriented horizontally or vertically. For signal conditioning, you will need an external charge amplifier or an IEPE (ICP®) power supply and amplifier module to convert the high-impedance charge output into a low-impedance voltage signal readable by data acquisition systems, PLCs, or microcontrollers.
