Features:

  • Interface Between High-Temperature Gas Turbine Environments and Precision Vibration Monitoring Systems
  • Integrates Piezoelectric Sensing Technology with Differential Signal Output for Noise Immunity
  • Operates in Conjunction with Standard Condition Monitoring Systems and Charge Amplifiers
The Vibro-Meter CA303 144-303-000-011 converts mechanical vibration energy into electrical charge output (50 pC/g) and transmits this signal through an integral mineral insulated (MI) cable with stainless steel overbraid to support accurate monitoring of rotating equipment health. Seamless signal transmission is standard with the CA303 144-303-000-011, however using its differential output configuration will allow effective minimization of noise pick-up due to electrical ground potentials in hostile electromagnetic environments.

The CA303 144-303-000-011 provides essential vibration sensing functions critical to gas turbine protection systems, and is a vital component of the monitoring path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall condition monitoring system. One or multiple CA303 144-303-000-011 accelerometers are required per turbine depending on the desired measurement coverage and criticality of monitored components. The CA303 144-303-000-011 features a rugged welded construction using Inconel 600 stainless steel and is always mounted via its integrated 1/4" mounting bolts on flat, clean surfaces at the designated measurement points.

For applications requiring flexible cable routing, the CA303 144-303-000-011 system offers a version with a side connector when an integral cable is not required. In addition to standard integral cable operation, the side connector configuration also performs the same high-fidelity signal transmission. The CA303 144-303-000-011 differential output design executes noise rejection using the internal circuitry specified in the piezoelectric element options.

The CA303 144-303-000-011 Vibro-Meter Piezoelectric Accelerometer may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Description
Vibro-Meter CA303 144-303-000-011 Piezoelectric Accelerometer is specifically designed for high temperature gas turbine applications, addressing the critical challenge of reliable vibration monitoring in environments where conventional accelerometers fail due to extreme thermal conditions. The CA303 144-303-000-011 solves the problem of signal degradation and sensor failure in high-temperature zones by enabling continuous operation up to 455°C (850°F), ensuring uninterrupted data acquisition from turbine bearings, combustors, and other thermally stressed components where excessive vibration can lead to catastrophic equipment damage and unplanned downtime.

The CA303 144-303-000-011 delivers a high output of 50 pC/g with an improved transverse frequency resonance characteristic, providing accurate and stable vibration measurement across a frequency response of 5 Hz to 3000 Hz. Its sensitivity of 50 pC/g ensures robust signal generation even in electrically noisy environments. The CA303 144-303-000-011 features a welded construction using Inconel 600 stainless steel, offering exceptional resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and mechanical fatigue. 

The rugged design incorporates hermetically sealed connectors and 1/4" mounting bolts, while an integral mineral insulated (MI) cable with stainless steel overbraid maintains signal integrity in hostile environments. The differential output signal effectively minimizes noise pick-up caused by electrical ground potentials, a common issue in large rotating machinery installations.
