ifm efector VNB001 vibration sensor

The vibration sensor from ifm efector monitors, displays and records vibration values. A display with colour change in traffic light colours shows machine conditions at a glance.

The VNB001 is the first member of a series of vibration sensors. The compact sensor monitors online the overall vibration condition of machines and plants according to ISO 10816 and features an onboard time-stamped history function as well as data logging and trending - all directly on the machine.

The sensing principle is based on the efector octavis technology, which can also be used reliably in mobile applications. The sensor measures the effective vibration velocity in mm/s or in/s. Measured value and switching status are indicated on the LED display. Critical machine conditions can be signalled using two switching outputs or one switching output and one analog input.

As an alternative, the sensor can be powered via USB interface and used as a handheld device. The product also offers rapid and easy handling and set-up as the parameters can be adjusted directly on the device. No additional configuration software is required.

The vibration sensor provides intelligent vibration monitoring and is quickly ready for operation.
