New Vibration/Shock Sensor Developed

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

A new embedded wireless vibration/shock sensor solution has been launched recently. The G-Link-200-OEM sensor is small, light, easy to integrate and produces high-speed vibration data. The sensor, available with 8g or 40g accelerometer, is designed for industrial equipment, machine health monitoring, off-highway condition monitoring, oil-and-gas equipment, structural health, as well as the aerospace and defense flight test markets.

Developed by LORD Sensing-MicroStrain, the sensor provides outputs for key performance indicators such as velocity, acceleration RMPS, crest factor and acceleration Pk-Pk. Users can measure vibration, impact events and acceleration at rates up to 4k samples per second, according to verticalmag.com.

This embedded solution can help meet smaller size constraints. The new sensor has already been validated in computer chip manufacturing environments.

According to microstrain.com, the end-to-end wireless sensing solution reduces development and deployment time. It has a remote configuration, acquisition, and display of sensor data with SensorConnect. Optional web-based SensorCloud platform optimizes data storage, viewing, alerts, and analysis.
