The new VT vibration transmitter from ifm electronic provides continuous vibration monitoring for rotating machinery and equipment according to ISO 10816.
Fitted in a stainless steel housing, the sensor measures the true rms velocity of non-rotating component surfaces. The values are then trans-mitted as an analogue signal (4-20 mA) directly to the PLC.
Due to its robust design and high IP rating, as well as the maximum ambient temperature of 105°C, the sensor is suitable for use in harsh environments. The VT is quick and easy to install and no extra parameter software is required.
The VT is 2-wire loop powered and has a M12 connector with a 0-25 mm/s measuring range. It meets IP 68/IP 69K requirements and is suitable for use in ambient temperatures from -30 to +105°C.
