Vibration sensor: The heart of vibration monitoring system
Vibrations are the basis for assessing machine conditions. Condition monitoring essentially comprises the measurement and recording of overall vibration values and operating parameters. It provides information and allows the diagnosis of the general machine condition or very specific ‘disorders’ of the machine.
Key Features
• Capacitive MEMS (digital) accelerometer
• No hard wires – support wireless connectivity and have inside battery
• Easy installation: adhesive mounting or magnet mounting
• Optimized for low energy, long battery life
• Expandable to hundreds of nodes per system
• Factory calibrated average vibration output
• Adjustable sample rate and filtering in software
Benefits
• Continuous and cyclic acquisition of overall vibration values;
• 24/7 remote monitoring, skip the costly oldfashioned manual inspections;
• Enables the identification of machine faults and give early warnings;
• Localizes the affected components to provide information on root causes;
• Prevent equipment failures and avoid unscheduled downtime;
