DESCRIPTION
Fiberoptic acceleration sensors are devices suited for the continuous monitoring of vibrations inside
power generators. In turbo and hydro generators, end-winding vibrations are present during opera-
tion causing undesirable out-of-service repairs in the long term. Continuous monitoring of these vi-
brations is therefore required. Furthermore, the high electromagnetic fields in the generators neces-
sitate the use of devices that are by design non-conductive and immune to electromagnetic interfer-
ences. This datasheet informs about MCm’s second generation of FAS which is made out of a mon-
olithic sensing element with remote optical readout. The chosen material of the sensing element en-
sures a proven extended product lifetime and stability with excellent resistance to temperature cy-
cles up to 155°C. A dual-axis accelerometer is available using two independent sensing elements
within the same package size and one single feedthrough.
