ifm efector VBN001 vibration monitor

The VBN001 vibration sensor from ifm efector accurately monitors, displays and records vibration values. A display with colour change in traffic light colours shows machine conditions at a glance.

The compact vibration sensor monitors the overall vibration condition of machines and plants online according to ISO 10816. It also features an on-board time-stamped history function as well as data logging and trending - all directly on the machine.

The sensing principle is based on efector octavis technology, which can also be used in mobile applications. The sensor measures the effective vibration velocity in mm/s or in/s. Measured value and switching status are indicated on the LED display. Critical machine conditions can be signalled using two switching outputs or one switching output and one analog input.

As an alternative, the sensor can be powered via USB interface and used as a hand-held device. The product has rapid and easy handling and set-up as the parameters can be adjusted directly on the device. No additional configuration software is required.
