Suitable for use in ATEX zones
December 1st 2007 The efector octavis bearing
condition monitor from ifm
electronic is now available with
ATEX equipment category 3D/3G,
and is therefore suitable for zone
22 or zone 2 explosion-hazard
areas. These new versions are
rated at IP69K, making them
suitable for the wettest of tasks.
Rolling element bearings are
probably the commonest element
to be found on the shop floor. As
both a load-bearing and moving
component, their condition
determines the efficiency of the
machines. The efector octavis
recognises, displays and signals
bearing condition. Affordable
sensors mean monitoring is no
longer restricted to the most
critical bearings, and operatives
will not need extensive training.
efector octavis detects rolling
element bearing failures and shaft
imbalance conditions on critical
plant equipment to continuously
monitor a machine's operating
condition through vibration
analysis.Alarm displays are included. More articles from ifm electronic Limited: |
