The Wilcoxon 883M is a compact vibration sensor for condition monitoring of rotating industrial equipment. This triaxial accelerometer with integrated temperature sensor provides immediate and actionable data insights. Its rugged yet compact design allows for easy installation and integration into existing IIoT environments.
The sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications, including motors, fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, and transmission systems like gearboxes and couplings. It also adds value in HVAC monitoring, ideal for chillers, cooling towers, and more. The use of this vibration sensor significantly 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.
