ifm efector VNB001 vibration sensor

The ifm efector VNB001 is the first member of a new series of vibration sensors. The compact sensor monitors the overall vibration condition of machines and plants according to ISO 10816 and features an onboard timestamped history function as well as data logging and trending.

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, easy handling and set-up as the parameters can be adjusted directly on the device. No additional configuration software is required.
