Overview

The AC115‑M12D is part of Emerson’s AC115 series of low‑cost triaxial accelerometers. It captures vibration data simultaneously in three axes (X, Y, Z), reducing data collection time compared to single‑axis sensors.

Its hermetically welded stainless‑steel housing and M12 connector ensure ruggedness and easy integration into predictive maintenance systems. It is ideal for rotating equipment monitoring, detecting imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear in motors, pumps, compressors, and turbines.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• Rotating Equipment Monitoring: Motors, pumps, compressors, turbines.

• Predictive Maintenance: Detects imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear before failures occur.

• Industrial Reliability Programs: Supports condition‑based maintenance strategies.

• Harsh Environments: Hermetic sealing ensures durability in oil & gas, chemical, and power generation facilities.

Example:
In a power generation plant, the AC115‑M12D can be mounted on turbine housings to capture vibration data across three axes, enabling faster diagnostics and reducing downtime.
