A vibration sensor uses an accelorometer to measure the amplitude, frequency, and intensity of vibrations in machinery.Vibration sensors are used to monitor the mechanical health of assets and component parts in various industrial applications.

The VV is a real-time vibration sensor specifically designed to monitor industrial machines for improper operation. It utilizes IO-Link to simplify setup and automate monitoring by leveraging your plant's Ethernet networks. Monitoring the four categories of machine failure (impact, fatigue, friction and temperature), the VV can detect and alert you to problems before they affect your production availability.

The VK and VT vibration switches and transmitters are easy devices to integrate. The accelerometer and evaluation electronics are self-contained in one housing. Monitoring RMS velocity (v-RMS) per the ISO 10816 standard, frequency range of 10…1000 Hz is one of the easiest methods of overall vibration monitoring for typical industrial machinery.

The VN family offers more application flexibility than simple switches and transmitters. It measures overall machine vibration with a configurable frequency range up to 6000 Hz. The VNB211 is more powerful than simple switches and transmitters, since it provides two flexible vibration measurements and onboard trend history.
