New single-axis
vibration sensor monitors drives
Turck expands condition monitoring sensor portfolio
Turck's CMVT-M8T in a compact stainless-steel housing uses vibration measurement to monitor the condition of motors and drives. With single-axis measurement, easy installation in the service bore via M8 screw-in thread including mounting adapter up to M30 and three selectable output signals, the sensor ensures precise vibration monitoring with minimum installation effort.
The CMVT-M8T detects vibrations along one axis and is therefore suitable for typical
applications on drives, pumps or fans where the main direction of vibration is
orthogonal to the axis of rotation. With IO-Link,
PNP switching and 4...20 mA analog outputs, the condition monitoring sensor
can be used universally and thus effectively reduces inventory costs.
The measuring accuracy is ±0.5 percent at 159.2 Hz. The sensor also provides
peak acceleration values in addition to effective values (RMS).
Integration into existing systems also possible
The device can also be commissioned without a connection to a controller using
the Vibration Monitor app in the Turck Automation Suite (TAS) or via an IO-Link master
with a web server.
In combination with a warning light, autonomous condition
monitoring systems can easily be set up without a controller,
which is particularly useful in existing systems.
The sensor complies with ISO standard 10816-3 for the entry of critical vibration values.
Condition monitoring portfolio grows
The new single-axis sensor is the fourth sensor type that Turck has developed specifically
for easy-to-use and retrofittable condition monitoring applications.
It complements the existing range consisting of the CMVT-QR20 three-axis
vibration/temperature sensor, the CMMT magnetic field/temperature sensor
and the CMTH for humidity and temperature measurements.
Three-axis vibration/temperature sensor CMVT-QR20
The CMVT-QR20 detects vibration on three axes and evaluates them internally.
It outputs a warning signal directly if the set limit values are exceeded –
either via IO-Link or as a switching signal.
Vibration and temperature are the key characteristic values
for detecting machine faults early on, such as those caused by the
imbalance of rotating parts.
Magnetic field/temperature
sensor CMMT
With the CMMT, the combined measurement of magnetic field and
temperature enables simple detection of faults on motors or in processes with magnetic components.
In addition, the new sensor also opens up applications that were previously impossible,
such as the non-contact detection of the rotation and movement of metal objects
without visual contact.
With an IO-Link output and two switching outputs, the CMVT-QR20 is ideal for condition monitoring in existing or new plants
Turck's CMMT magnetic field and temperature sensor detects magnetic field changes across three axes and calculates the vector sum of the measurements
