Vibration sensor monitors drives
The CMVT-M8T single-axis condition monitoring sensor from TURCK enables efficient vibration monitoring — easy to install and retrofit
Benefits
- Simple mounting thanks to M8 screw-in thread
- High scalability thanks to adjustable frequency range
- Ideal for new equipment and retrofitting of existing machines
- Machine monitoring without any control integration thanks to internal data pre-processing
TURCK's CMVT-M8T in a compact stainless steel housing monitors the condition of motors and drives by means of vibration measurement. With single-axis measurement, simple mounting in the service hole via M8 screw-in thread including mounting adapter up to M30, and three selectable output signals, the sensor promises precise vibration monitoring with minimal installation effort.
Flexible integration saves costs
The CMVT-M8T detects vibrations along an axis and is therefore suitable for typical applications on drives, pumps, or fans where the main vibration direction is orthogonal to the rotational axis. With IO-Link, PNP switching and 4...20 mA analog outputs, the condition monitoring sensor can be used universally and thus effectively reduces storage costs. The measuring accuracy is ±0.5% at 159.2 Hz. In addition to RMS values, the sensor also provides peak values of the acceleration.
Autonomous monitoring made easy
The device can also be commissioned without a control connection via the "Vibration Monitor" app in the TURCK Automation Suite (TAS) or an IO-Link master with web server. In combination with a warning light, self-sufficient condition monitoring systems can be set up without a control system, which is particularly useful in existing plants. The sensor draws on ISO standard 10816-3 for entering the critical vibration values.
Condition monitoring sensor range
The new 1-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 of CMVT-QR20 3-axis vibration/temperature sensors, the CMMT magnetic field/temperature sensor, and the CMTH for humidity and temperature measurements.
