explosion-proof vibration monitor

Vibration sensor from ifm has been designed for detecting measurements of potentially explosive atmospheres such as pharmaceutical, chemical, and mining industries. It can monitor vibration in ATEX zones 1G and 1D.

It protects from permanent overloading of machines and sudden disruptions. The measuring range is expanded up to 80g. It can be connected with VSE diagnostic electronics. It provides an excellent price/performance ratio. A sensor and evaluation unit is included to monitor, analyze and document readings.

Early detection of overused rolling element bearings is very essential to avoid high temperatures going beyond the acceptable limit. Imbalance or misalignment can cause machine vibration to exceed the permissible range in no time. This results in a potential of high risk.

Vibrations up to ± 80 g are received and transmitted by the VSP sensor to the IEPE input. This is done using a splitter box within the ATEX zone and an inherently safe isolated barrier outside of the ATEX zone).
