Developed by ABB, AS with SKF and SINTEF, and under a program sponsored by the Research Council of Norway, the Wireless Vibration Sensor communicates measurements wirelessly to a central unit using the WirelessHART standard.
The sensor is made up of a vibration sensor (accelerometer), temperature sensor and wireless communication equipment. Communicating data to a central unit that then processes the information, the product then sends the information to users. The devise's frequency response is ideally flat up to 10 kHz.
