Wilcoxon Research vibration transmitters

Click2Contact

Wilcoxon Research vibration sensors include an accelerometer and vibration transmitter combined in a rugged housing for cost-effective continuous vibration monitoring. They provide a 4–20 mA output signal proportional to the overall vibration level.

The vibration sensors are easy to set up and can be used to send vibration data to existing PLC or DCS systems that also process other data such as pressure or temperature. This enables the user to perform simplified condition-based maintenance on machinery without the investment and learning curve associated with traditional vibration monitoring systems with data collection boxes and custom software.

The high compatibility of these vibration sensors has made them widely implemented in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, water and wastewater, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and power generation. Generally, they are installed for the vibration monitoring of pumps, motors, fans, cooling towers, compressors and gearboxes. Applying predictive maintenance techniques to these operations and machines can result in significant reductions in maintenance expenses, increased uptime and improved safety.
