Pepperl+Fuchs VIM3 Series vibration sensors

Click2Contact

The Pepperl+Fuchs VIM3 vibration sensors are suitable for all standard applications using IO-Link or an analog interface. The large measuring range allows for vibration ranges up to 128 mm/s. Depending on the application, the housing is available in V2A, V4A or duplex steel with encapsulated electronics, with the aim of ensuring a long service life. The IO-Link version is also certified to SIL 1/PL c for use in safety-relevant applications.

VIM6 series sensors can measure data for both temperature and vibration speed and acceleration. Higher-than-normal temperatures may be the result of mechanical wear caused by friction and could result in machine damage. This measured value can therefore provide key information about machine condition. The VIM6 sensor is suitable for use in an extended temperature range from –40 to 125°C and has all the necessary approvals for worldwide use in hazardous areas.

The VIM8 series is suitable for applications in the mining or offshore sectors. Providing precise information about the machine condition, this series can measure the crest value of the vibration conditions to better classify bearing condition and potential wear in these applications. Rotary switches provide a convenient method for setting limits and delay times, allowing the device to be easily used without the need of an additional analyser or controller. Features such as an extended temperature range (–35 to 125°C), certifications to SIL 2/PL d and all the necessary approvals for global use in hazardous areas make this series a suitable choice for these more demanding applications.
