CA202 144-202-000-106 / CA202 144-202-000-206 perform the sensing stage of a charge-based vibration channel, converting machine acceleration into a differential charge signal for external conditioning electronics.

1. 01

   Shear-mode conversion

   Machine acceleration loads the symmetrical shear-mode element in CA202 144-202-000-106 / CA202 144-202-000-206. The element produces a nominal 100 pC of differential charge for each g of acceleration.

2. 02

   Passive sensor output

   CA202 144-202-000-106 / CA202 144-202-000-206 require no electrical supply at the sensor head. Their low-noise integral cable carries the charge directly to the external IPC70x or other specified charge-conditioning input.

3. 03

   Hot-zone signal path

   The sensor body remains at the machine measurement point while the integral cable moves the small charge signal away from the hot zone. The flexible stainless-steel hose protects that cable without changing the sensing function.

Mechanical coupling, integral-cable routing and version selection determine how CA202 144-202-000-106 / CA202 144-202-000-206 transfer machine motion to the charge conditioner.

1. 01

   Four-point mounting

   Four M6 fasteners clamp CA202 144-202-000-106 / CA202 144-202-000-206 to the prepared surface. Tightening the fasteners to 15 N·m establishes the mechanical path used by the shear element.

2. 02

   Integral lead routing

   The three-metre low-noise cable is part of CA202 144-202-000-106 / CA202 144-202-000-206 and cannot be treated as a detachable field lead. Its protective hose is routed without pulling, twisting or transferring strain into the sensor body.

3. 03

   Environmental version

   CA202 144-202-000-106 is the Ex version and CA202 144-202-000-206 is the standard version. The installed sensor, cable route and external conditioner therefore follow the environment represented by the complete ordering number.
