Turck's CMVT sensor evaluates vibration and temperature data internally enabling the easy retrofitting of condition monitoring into existing plants. 

Turck has expanded its product portfolio with the CMVT, a robust vibration sensor with integrated temperature measurement for condition monitoring applications. Vibration and temperature are key characteristic values for detecting machine faults early on, such as those caused by imbalance of rotating parts. The CMVT detects vibration on three axes and evaluates them internally. It outputs a warning signal directly if the set limit values are exceeded – either via IO-Link or as a switching signal.

 Traditional switching outputs are ideal when setting up retrofit and standalone applications since they can be used directly to operate alarms or as triggers for indicator lights – without the need for integration in existing control systems. Commissioning the sensor is easy thanks to the Turck Vibration Monitor. The tool visualizes the vibration and temperature data live in any web browser and can be used easily with Turck IO-Link masters – without any additional software required. Other information, such as operating hours, can be accessed via IO-Link and transferred into cloud systems.

The sensor detects acceleration in g and vibration speed in mm/s over a wide frequency range. The smart preprocessing of sensor data also allows the direct output of peak-to-peak values or rms values of acceleration and speed. The CMVT outputs threshold values in accordance with ISO 10816-3, which considerably simplifies standard-compliant condition monitoring.
