The CA202 144-202-000-205 is a piezoelectric accelerometer from Meggitt's Vibro-Meter product line. Operating as a field-level measuring instrument, this device is developed for industrial rotating machinery monitoring systems. Under industrial conditions characterized by wide temperature fluctuations or where standard sensors are prone to interference, this model captures dynamic vibration data from machine surfaces and converts it into charge signals for subsequent data processing and machinery health assessments.
Symmetrical sensor with internal case insulation and differential output
Available in standard versions and Ex versions certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
Hermetically welded austenitic stainless-steel case and heat-resistant stainless-steel protection hose
The hardware configuration of the Meggitt Vibro-Meter 144-202-000-205 consists of a symmetrical shear-mode polycrystalline sensing crystal incorporated with internal case isolation barriers. Encapsulated inside a corrosive-resistant austenitic steel enclosure, the device includes an interconnected low-noise signal line. This transmission strand remains enclosed within a flexible, liquid-tight stainless steel armor conduit that undergoes a complete circumferential fusion weld at the entry junction to maintain absolute atmosphere containment. As a factory-standard non-hazardous zone item, this 144-202-000-205 mechanical assembly serves as the foundational structural hardware attached to heavy plant equipment.

Thermal Power
Used for casing vibration monitoring on main steam turbine bearing housings, large boiler feedwater pumps, and induced draft fan casings.
Gas Turbine Power Generation Industry
Installed in high-temperature, non-hazardous areas such as the exhaust-end bearings of heavy gas turbines to monitor casing vibration under thermal radiation.
Petroleum Refining Industry
Used for continuous condition monitoring of large furnace blowers and high-pressure water pumps in refinery utility areas.
Hydroelectric Power
Used for low-to-medium frequency vibration measurement on hydro-generator thrust bearing support structures and upper guide bearing casings.
Metallurgy & Iron and Steel Industry
Used for shock and vibration monitoring on blast furnace blower bearing pedestals and heavy-duty main drive gearboxes of hot/cold rolling mills.
Pulp & Paper Industry
Used for bearing housing monitoring on high-temperature, high-humidity, continuously operating equipment such as large dryer drum drive gearboxes and high-speed sizing machines in paper mills.
During use, ensure the sensor base is vertically tightened to a flat measuring surface with the specified torque, and avoid over-bending or pulling the flexible stainless-steel protection hose to prevent damaging the hermetic weld. Since it outputs a weak charge signal, the transmission cable must be routed away from high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference, and it must be connected to a compatible charge amplifier or signal conditioner (such as the IPC704) before entering the control system.
Boasting a wide frequency response extending from 0.5 to 6000 Hz and a high sensitivity rating of 100 pC/g, the CA202 144-202-000-205 model captures precise dynamic data with exceptional accuracy. To ensure stable operation across extreme environments, the CA202 144-202-000-205 is engineered to deliver reliable functionality throughout a broad temperature spectrum from -55 up to 260°C.
