The 3-axis MEMS technology provides mounting flexibility and precise measurements in all three directions – axial, vertical, and horizontal – with one single measurement position only.

The ultra robust stainless steel housing can withstand the harshest operating conditions. Thanks to the internal self-test function and an M12 connector, a damaged cable can be replaced at any time. This durable sensor is completely maintenance-free. Plus, the LED allows you to keep an eye on the device status at all times.

Optionally, you can make use of the integrated unbalance and bearing analysis feature, which is easy to use via IO-Link interface. Continuously measure different condition indicators to detect fatigue, friction, impacts, and surface temperature.

Thresholds can be conveniently set according to ISO 20816-3 based on the machine type and nominal power via PLC system commands or an IT system.

Applications

The VVB condition monitoring sensor has been designed as a complete monitoring solution integrated in one sensor.
Target applications include all rotating machines with continuous or partially continuous machine operation (rotational speed and power) and a drive shaft.
The sensor is typically used on electric motors, fans, pumps, geared motors, conveyor belts, vertical bearings, reduction gears, belt drives, HVAC, vacuum pumps, separators (gear-free) and other single-shaft machines, such as wood sawing machines.
