Yokogawa Vibration Sensor

With its sushi sensors, Yokogawa has launched an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution for both the process and manufacturing industry. The line-up of IIoT sensors is used to monitor the condition of assets through trend monitoring. This enables users to schedule maintenance efficiently and on time, preventing unplanned downtime and making planned maintenance cheaper. Yokogawa's line-up includes a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a vibration sensor. This article discusses the vibration sensor in more detail.

The Yokogawa XS770 vibration sensor is a wireless IIoT sensor based on the LoRaWAN communication protocol. The sensor measures both speed and acceleration on the X, Y, and Z axes. Besides vibration, the sensor also measures the surface temperature of the asset on which it is mounted. Mounting the device is relatively easy using a screw system or a magnet, and because of the Atex certification it may be installed on assets in zone 2. The battery of the device is relatively large and in our experience lasted about 8000 - 10000 measurements.
