Monitor for ATEX zones
December 1st 2008 ifm electronic has added
ATEX compliant versions to
its efector octavis range of
self-contained bearing
vibration monitors.
The VE111A and VE112A
versions are suited to either
gas hazards in Zone 2 or
dust hazards in Zone 22 with
their 3G /3D rating. While
the VE111A monitors a
frequency range of 3 to
6000 Hz, the VE112A
monitors 0.125 to 500 Hz.
To complement these two,
the VE113A goes further:
Zone 1 or Zone 21 approval
has been granted under the
increasingly popular IECEx
scheme.
ifm says affordable
sensors for condition
monitoring mean monitoring
is no longer restricted to the
most critical bearings, and
firms won't need extensive
training in vibration
frequency analysis.
The efector octavis
monitor has an
accelerometer, analogue-todigital
converter, digital
signal processor and
diagnostic electronics in a
compact 40 by 40mm
package. More articles from ifm electronic Limited: |
