GIMATIC S.r.l. MEMS Shock Sensors SG Series

The shock sensors are devices that change the outlet status of their circuit when shocks or vibrations are sensed. They are normally used to prevent breaking of mechanical actuators (linear and rotating). Using the MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) technology, these sensors can monitor system vibrations and, each time vibrations exceed a certain threshold preset on the sensor, the circuit commutates the output, enabling the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control electronics to intervene and remove the defect. The sensor has a special lay-out to be easily fitted on all actuators. The connection is also made easier by the M8 connector. Our custom service is at your disposal to meet specific requirements for which standard products are not satisfactory.
