In industrial environments, insight into the actual condition of machines is often lacking. Traditional monitoring systems are frequently inflexible, expensive, or difficult to scale. The Wilcoxon 883M changes this: a compact digital sensor that is easy to install and delivers actionable insights immediately. Featuring digital communication, built-in intelligence, and a rugged housing, the 883M takes predictive maintenance of rotating machinery to the next level.
One sensor, complete insight
The Wilcoxon 883M is a compact digital triaxial accelerometer with an integrated temperature sensor. Its robust yet compact housing makes it easy to install and provides direct actionable insights. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including rotating machinery such as motors, fans, blowers, pumps, and compressors, as well as transmission systems like gearboxes and couplings. The 883M also proves its value in HVAC systems, such as chillers and cooling towers. Moreover, the use of this sensor reduces the need for periodic manual measurements.
Practical Example: Monitoring a Cooling Water Pump
Installing a single Wilcoxon 883M vibration sensor on a cooling water pump enables instant monitoring of three-axis vibration and surface temperature. The sensor connects via Modbus and integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. A reliable vibration trend becomes visible within days through your chosen vibration analysis platform.
When this trend reveals vibration increases in a specific frequency band, it may indicate a mechanical anomaly. This early warning allows for maintenance before failure or downtime. No programming is required for data output, which simplifies installation and ensures long-term reliability. All data is remotely accessible via cloud or local platforms.
