Vibration Monitoring System

Industry Leading Vibration Monitoring Equipment from CMC!

Vibration monitoring equipment plays a critical part in any condition-based monitoring program and CMC provides a simple, easy to install vibration monitoring system. Our system sensors integrate a state of the art micro-machined silicon accelerometer combined with a high performance microcontroller. It provides 2 baseline values to monitor the overall condition of your equipment.

mVM001

The sensor is packaged in a potted stainless steel housing complete with ½” conduit fitting. The sensor can detect both low and middle frequency RMS vibration as well as high frequency high velocity vibration. The high frequency algorithm is specifically tuned for high frequency vibration condition monitoring, detecting high velocity movements that are indicators of imminent bearing failure. The sensor can provide either value as a process signal or can provide both over a single address by multiplying the signals. The device connects to CMC’s Single wire, Digital IS Network using the attached 2m (6’) cable and RJ-11 connector. Power is derived from the Single wire, Digital Network and external power is not required.

mVM001 vibration monitoring sensors are typically used on bearings on fans, blowers, hammer-mills, and conveyors to provide early warning of impending problems. This allows for machines to be shut down for maintenance or repair before a catastrophic breakdown can occur.

Vibration condition monitoring is considered a key component in any condition based machine monitoring program.

Product Description

The mVM001 is an application specific vibration monitor with specialized software to detect defective bearings. The sensor is packaged in a potted stainless steel housing complete with a ½” conduit fitting. The sensor can detect both low and middle frequency RMS vibration and high frequency high velocity vibration.

The high frequency algorithm is specifically tuned to detect the high frequency, high velocity movements that are indicators of imminent failure of a bearing. The sensor can provide either value as a process signal or can provide both over a single address by multiplying the signals.

The device connects to the single-wire communications bus using the attached 6’ (2m) cable and RJ-11 connector. Power is derived from the single-wire bus, external power is not required.

Typical Applications

Used for monitoring of motor and machinery bearings on fans and hammermills.
