Acceleration sensors

Reliable and precise measurement of acceleration with up to three measurement axis

BAM53

Beschleunigungssensor BAM53_1024x768

  • MEMS sensor, type approved according to railway standard DIN EN 50155
  • High accuracy due to very low noise
  • Wide frequency range
  • Measurement of up to two axes (triaxial on request)
  • Ideal for predictive maintenance
  • Robust and compact design, customer-specific connections possible

Description

One sensor for various applications, perfect for predictive maintenance

Due to the compact stainless steel design the acceleration sensor type BAM53 is very robust. It can be easily adapted to customer requirements: Dimensions and electrical connection are variable. It is possible to equip the BAM53 with a cable protection for applications in rough environments on request. Furthermore, the sensor is type approved and thus, can be used for wheelset bearing- and bogie monitoring and for derailment detection.

The sensor’s proven capacitive MEMS principle enables monitoring at a lower frequency and has good temperature stability as well as good repeat accuracy. Uniaxial, biaxial or a triaxial variant on request offer solutions for demanding applications.
