SKF Wireless MicroVibe

October 2014 Sensors & Transducers

SKF has launched the SKF Wireless MicroVibe that allows users to assess any problems with their machinery or rotating equipment. Portable, compact and lightweight, this versatile and easy-to-use tool offers reliable and fast wireless (WiFi) data collection.

In conjunction with a tablet or smartphone, the new SKF Wireless MicroVibe provides the functionality of basic vibration data collection and analysis. It is the perfect entry-level solution for machine vibration measurements, root cause analysis and small route-based data collection.

“The wireless sensor will help users to access data in much easier and quicker ways than other comparable technology on the market. Anyone who owns a tablet can check the condition of a machine to ISO standards or by user defined alarms. They can even start a simple condition monitoring programme for their rotating machinery with this entry level solution,” says Torsten Bark, SKF product line manager.

Once the overall vibration measurements results in an alert, the FFT spectra and waveforms function will provide information to help identify the root cause of the vibration. The SKF Wireless MicroVibe, CMVL 4000-EN, allows multi-point automation for faster data collection. The data collected, assessed and stored includes enveloped acceleration, acceleration, velocity and displacement, in both FFT spectrum and time waveform displays.
