Hansford Sensors Ltd, the International Centre of Excellence for Vibration Monitoring
Hansford Sensors Ltd specialise in the design and manufacture of accelerometers for monitoring vibration and temperature levels of industrial machinery, playing a key part in the role of predictive maintenance. Our product range includes vibration and velocity sensors or industrial accelerometers with either AC outputs for use with data collectors, or 4-20mA outputs for direct use with PLCs.
Intrinsically safe AC and 4-20mA versions are available with ATEX and IECEx certification for approved use in Group I (Mining) and Group II (Petrochemical).
Hansford Sensors Ltd also supply multi-sensor switch boxes, vibration sensor modules, portable vibration meters, accessories for sensors, vibration condition monitoring protection systems and custom built vibration sensors.
New Product
The new HS109 Triaxial accelerometer complete with the well proven M12 connector. This is designed to be permanently mounted on industrial machinery.
The HS109 allows three axis to be read simultaneously allowing the measurement time to be reduced per point.
It can be supplied with a variety of different sensitivities to suit the application.

Feature Application
On a Pharmaceutical production line it is imperative to ensure a quality product is produced so there is a requirement to maintain air flow rate, temperature and humidity throughout the total production process. If there is a mechanical failure to the AHU’s (Air Handling Units), the cost of loss production could be exceedingly high, with other implications such as customer dissatisfaction and penalties resulting from late orders.
It therefore makes economic sense to monitor the rotating elements of the AHU’s to enable vibration engineers to pick up early signs of any degradation in the equipment so maintenance can be planned and carried out with minimal expense and disruption to service.
