Single point monitoring
Self-contained switches and transmitters – VK and VT series
Vibration switches and transmitters are easy devices to integrate.
- Accelerometer and evaluation electronics in one housing.
- RMS velocity (v-RMS) per the ISO 10816 standard, frequency range of 10…1000 Hz.
- This is one of the easiest methods of overall vibration monitoring for typical industrial machinery.
Transmitters have the added benefit of being able to easily trend overall machine health over time.
The VK and VT families have a working range of v-RMS up to 50 mm/sec. The VT family has a protection rating of IP69K for use in harsh areas subject to high and/or low temperatures, washdown, outdoor, aggressive and other difficult applications.
These products detect vibration increases caused by defects such as:
- unbalance
- misalignment
- looseness
