Industrial 4–20 mA MEMS Accelerometer ECO CS-x311

Single, dual, or three-axis MEMS capacitive acceleration sensor with analog current output for structural and industrial vibration monitoring


Key features

  • 4–20 mA current loop output (single-ended)
  • ±2 g to ±40 g measuring range
  • DC to 2.4 kHz frequency bandwidth
  • Excellent EMC immunity
  • Compact IP67 aluminum housing
  • Optional stainless steel version
  • Available in 1, 2, or 3 axis configurations

Prestaties

The ECO CS-x311 is a rugged capacitive MEMS accelerometer with a standardized 4–20 mA output, ideal for applications requiring long cable runs and high electromagnetic compatibility. With a frequency response from DC up to 2.4 kHz and a noise level of just 4.5 μA, the sensor delivers reliable low-noise measurements for both static and dynamic conditions.
It supports single, dual, or triaxial configurations, with measuring ranges up to ±40 g. The gas-damped MEMS element enables stable DC-response operation, making it suitable for both structural diagnostics and condition monitoring in demanding industrial environments. 

Operating conditions

The ECO CS-x311 performs reliably between -20 °C and +80 °C and withstands shock loads of up to 10,000 g. The standard housing is IP67-rated anodized aluminum, resistant to dust and moisture ingress. A 6-meter PUR cable is included by default, with custom lengths and connector options available on request. The sensor is fully compatible with industrial DAQ systems, SCADA environments, and long-distance analog signal networks.

Applications

  • Structural health monitoring of bridges, tunnels, and infrastructure
  • Vibration analysis in wind energy and heavy machinery
  • Predictive maintenance in EMC-prone environments
  • Rail monitoring and foundation diagnostics
  • Condition monitoring in long cable installations
