2 Channel Industrial IoT Long Range Wireless Ultrasound Vibration Sensor

2-Channel Industrial IoT Long-Range Wireless Ultrasound Vibration Sensor

The Industrial IoT Ultrasound Vibration Sensor from NCD – a high-performance solution engineered explicitly for industry-leading predictive maintenance applications. Integrated with a wireless mesh networking architecture, it delivers an impressive range of up to 2 miles. The sensor employs a high-precision, dual-channel 16-bit ADC, capturing vibration data at user-specified intervals and wirelessly transmitting the recorded data to remote modems and gateways.

Designed with a focus on energy efficiency, the sensor seamlessly transitions into an ultra-low power sleep mode between data sampling periods. Its integrated 16V buck-boost power supply negates the requirement for an external power source, enhancing its versatility.

Powering the sensor are six AA batteries that, coupled with an operational battery lifespan of 5 years. This lifespan depends on environmental conditions and the frequency of data transmissions. The sensor also supports optional external power from a 6-18VDC supply for added flexibility.

Its superior range, high precision, extended battery life, cost-effectiveness, and fortified security features position this sensor as an exceptional tool for predictive maintenance tasks in various industrial contexts, exceeding the standards set by traditional devices.

Ultrasound Vibration Sensor Applications

1. Rotating Machinery Health Monitoring: The sensor can monitor vibrations in rotating equipment such as motor predictive maintenance, pumps, fans, or turbines. This real-time monitoring helps identify potential failures, such as bearing wear or imbalance before they escalate into costly breakdowns.
2. Gearbox Monitoring: It can detect changes in the vibration patterns of gearboxes, often indicating issues such as gear wear, misalignment, or lubrication problems.
3. Conveyor System Monitoring: The sensors can track the health of conveyor systems in industrial setups, predicting faults in rollers, bearings, or drive mechanisms.
4. HVAC System Monitoring: They can be used in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems to monitor and predict issues related to rotating parts like fans or compressors.
5. Wind Turbine Monitoring: In wind energy setups, the sensor can predict maintenance requirements in the rotating parts of wind turbines, ensuring their optimal performance.
