Sensor
Vibration sensor (Neptune)
3-axis MEMS vibration sensor with 10Hz-1.3kHz frequency range, 6.66kHz sampling, and integrated temperature monitoring. 10,000g shock tolerance with 16-bit resolution and Modbus RS485 connectivity.
Analog I/O
Vibration signal output for gateways and controllers.
8-pin harness
Power, signal, and configuration in one connector.
6.66kHz sampling rate
6,660 samples per second per axis
Condition monitoring
Detect imbalance, bearing wear, and misalignment.
Precise measurement
0.488mg/LSB sensitivity at ±16G range provides precision detection of subtle vibration changes.
Take a closer look.
Captures vibration in X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously with both acceleration and velocity RMS output — enabling detection of complex machinery faults like misalignment, imbalance, and bearing wear that single-axis sensors miss.
Standard Modbus RTU over RS-485 enables direct integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial gateways without proprietary software or protocol converters — ensuring reliable communication over long cable runs.
Covers the full spectrum of rotating machinery vibration from slow-speed gearboxes (10-100Hz) to high-speed motors and bearings (500Hz+) — outperforming typical MEMS sensors that top out at 1kHz.
