New Battery-Powered Vibration Sensor

THE NEW VWV VIBRATION SENSOR from ifm is designed to deliver comprehensive vibration and temperature monitoring, even in hard-to-reach spots, ensuring peak machine performance and proactive maintenance.

Offering a wireless design and intelligent mesh topology for efficient data transmission, the VWV sensor provides swift integration and reliable communication, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Key features and benefits include the choice of one (VWV001) or three (VWV002) measurement axes, wide measuring ranges for vibration (-16 to 16g) and broad vibration velocity (0 to 25mm/s), frequency ranging from 10 to 1000Hz, an ambient temperature range of -30 to 80°C, and robustness and durability with an IP68 rating.

The VWV sensor enables early detection of potential machine issues. It leverages wireless technology and a long-lasting battery, which ensures uninterrupted monitoring for a minimum of four years while reducing downtime and maximising operational efficiency.

Geared towards maintenance engineers, reliability professionals and plant managers seeking proactive and data-driven maintenance strategies to prevent potentially catastrophic failures of critical assets, the VWV sensor's standout feature is its user-friendly integration with the moneo IIoT software. This facilitates quick data analysis and visualisation for informed decision-making. The gateway's open standard interface allows seamless data transfer to IT systems, ensuring optimal condition analysis and accelerated maintenance interventions.
