Honeywell Vibration Sensor, 40 kHz, -55°C → +120°C

Honeywell offers VRS sensors for high output, general purpose, power output, high resolution, high temperature, and hazardous location applications. High Output VRS sensors are designed for use in applications where higher output voltages are needed. For best performance use in applications of low to medium speeds with medium to high impedance loads. General Purpose VRS sensors are designed for use in applications with medium to high speeds or in electrically noisy environments with relatively small air gaps. Passive Front-End Sealed versions are available for use where the sensor is exposed to fluids, lubricants or adverse environmental conditions. VRS (Variable Reluctance Speed) Magnetic Speed sensors are simple, rugged devices that do not require an external voltage source for operation.

The fixed magnetic field is established by use of a permanent magnet. As a ferrous metal object approaches and passes near the sensing area the flux lines of the magnetic field change in strength. This change in magnetic field strength induces a current into a coil winding, which is attached to the output terminals. The output signal of a VRS sensor is an ac voltage that varies in amplitude and wave frequency as the speed of the monitored device changes, and is usually expressed in peak to peak voltage. One complete waveform occurs as each target passes the sensor’s pole piece. If a standard gear were used as a target, this output signal would resemble a sine wave if viewed on an oscilloscope.

Detect imbalances in machines with this vibration sensor from Honeywell. It monitors the degree and frequency of vibrations, helping to prevent breakdowns in equipment. The sensor is self-powered, so there's no need for an external power source. Its wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +120°C makes it suitable for use in demanding environments. As this sensor has no moving parts, it needs minimal maintenance, saving you time and effort.

• Compact dimensions of 19.05 (diameter) x 63.88mm (length) makes it ideal for setups with limited space
• Directly converts actuator speed into output frequency for ease of data interpretation

• Motor and gear speed measurement
• Textile and paper machines
• Woodworking equipment

This sensor is made of stainless steel, so it's resistant to corrosion and wear for use in harsh industrial environments.
