Wireless Vibration Sensors
Wireless Condition Monitoring for Continuous Asset Visibility
Advanced Maintenance Solutions provides robust wireless vibration sensors designed to support modern wireless condition monitoring and predictive maintenance systems.
These industrial wireless sensors allow vibration and temperature data to be collected from rotating equipment without the need for complex cabling or permanent wiring infrastructure. This enables reliable remote vibration monitoring across a wide range of assets while maintaining flexibility for installation and future system expansion.
Our wireless condition monitoring solutions utilise triaxial condition monitoring sensors capable of capturing vibration data across multiple axes while simultaneously trending temperature. This provides a more complete picture of asset health and allows early identification of developing mechanical issues.
Flexible Installation and Safe Data Collection
Wireless vibration sensors can be installed quickly using either magnetic mounting or permanent adhesive fixing, allowing the installation method to be matched to the asset and monitoring requirements.
Magnetic mounting allows sensors to be deployed rapidly for temporary monitoring, fault investigation or trial installations, while adhesive mounting provides a more permanent installation for long term monitoring programmes.
These industrial wireless sensors are particularly valuable for assets located in difficult to access or guarded areas where traditional data collection may present safety or accessibility challenges.
By installing condition monitoring sensors directly onto machinery, vibration data can be collected safely without the need for engineers to enter restricted areas or remove protective guarding during routine monitoring.
Sensor data can be transmitted to a gateway for centralised remote vibration monitoring and analysis, or accessed directly via tablet devices to support traditional vibration analysis and detailed diagnostics when required.
This flexibility allows the same wireless condition monitoring system to support both automated monitoring and hands on engineering investigation.
Designed for Industrial Reliability
Our wireless vibration sensors are designed for long term industrial deployment and can operate reliably in harsh environments where temperature variation, moisture and process conditions would challenge conventional monitoring equipment.
Unlike many disposable wireless sensors on the market, our condition monitoring sensors feature easily replaceable batteries that typically provide between two and five years of operational life depending on monitoring frequency. This significantly reduces long term operating costs and avoids unnecessary sensor replacement.
