Wireless vibration sensor from Fluke25 June 2021

The Fluke 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor combines a piezoelectric high-frequency sensor with software analytics to enable maintenance teams to track and analyse asset vibration readings continuously. It enables the monitoring of an extensive portfolio of production-critical assets.

Vibration data is transmitted wirelessly to the Fluke 3503 Gateway, and then to the cloud via ethernet or Wi-Fi. The information is viewable in the Live-Asset Portal, which displays trending graphs and machine health dashboards. With a single view, you can assess a facility’s overall asset health or do a deep dive into the health of a specific asset.

Pre-programmed thresholds based on machine type and alarm notifications combine with the analytical software to identify faults.

The piezo sensor and software are said to work together to produce a unique, smart battery management capability with a user-determined data transmission rate. Users can adjust and extend the sensor battery life while still getting the necessary data. Battery life is estimated as at least a year assuming 10-minute transmission intervals and a two-second transmission every 60 minutes.

The sensor’s frequency range is 2Hz-10,000Hz in Z, 0Hz-1,000Hz in X and Y axes. Sampling range is 18.5-62.5kHz.
