Sensor solution for efficient condition monitoring

By combining vibration and temperature measurements, changes in the behavior of bearings or gears can be identified at an early stage. In this way, damage is discovered at an early stage and costly repairs can be avoided.

The acceleration sensor of the sensor unit offers sampling rates of up to 4 kHz per axis, the temperature sensor has sampling rates of up to 50 Hz. When detecting accelerations, the sensor system works with a resolution of 20 bits; when measuring temperature, it is 15 bits. The smart sensor system offers measurement ranges between ± 2g and ± 40g for acceleration measurements and between -40 ° C and +125 ° C for temperatures.
