Top vibration products

The VMB condition monitoring sensor is purpose-built for mobile machinery featuring an integrated CANopen interface for seamless system integration. Using advanced 3-axis MEMS technology, the sensor continuously monitors vibration and calculates key condition indicators directly within the device.

Compact and rugged, the sensor is ideal for harsh mobile applications and supports flexible mounting. An onboard LED provides quick visual status for field diagnostics.

  Part No. Measurement range (g) Frequency range (Hz) Communication interface Protection rating Connection type
VMB301 0...60 1...7500 CANopen IP6K9K M12

With a wide detection range the VMB sensor identifies mechanical issues such as bearing wear, friction, shock events, and component fatigue. Intelligent features include:

  • BearingScoutâ„¢: built-in bearing demodulation for early fault detection, configurable for broadband or narrowband analysis

  • Unbalance analysis: monitors rotating components dynamically via RPDO-based speed input

  • Condition indicators: including fatigue (v-RMS), stress/stroke (d-Peak2Peak), shock (a-Peak), friction (a-RMS), crest factor (Spikiness), and surface temperature

  • Integrated event counters: tracks machine usage and mechanical switching via vibration velocity

  • Raw data access: up to 12 seconds of 3-axis acceleration data available via SDO block transfer for advanced diagnostics
