SEW-Eurodrive DUV30A vibration analysis sensor

The DUV30A vibration analysis sensor features faster sampling time at a constant speed, allowing the monitoring of more dynamic gear-unit applications. A key element of any effective predictive maintenance program, the DUV30A permits the early detection of gear-unit wear and damage, enabling site personnel to plan gear-unit maintenance.

The vibration analysis sensor allows the early detection of roller bearing and gearing wear or damage, as well as gear-unit unbalance and resonance detection. The DUV30A sensor has been specially designed to detect abnormal frequencies across a range of 1.875 to 6000 Hz. Its sampling time of 0.8 s per monitored object means it can accommodate more dynamic gear-unit applications.

Housed in a compact body and closely mounted onto a gear unit, the sensor employs both fast Fourier transform and high-frequency FFT harmonic signal evaluation to monitor gear-unit and bearing condition and vibration. This conditioning monitoring allows on-site personnel to better manage their planned maintenance intervals according to the application and duty cycle.

The DUV30A sensor is equipped with an RS232 port for in-field parameter set-up and interrogation and also features a second I/O port that accommodates speed input and alarm output connectivity to supervisory PLCs. The vibration sensor can be configured to warn key personnel of abnormal gear-unit or bearing condition once a pre-determined vibration alarm point has been reached. The alarm can be monitored via a supervisory PLC, HMI, SCADA or PC.

Included with the sensor is a free easy-to-use software package - the DUV-S. Required for sensor configuration and calibration, the DUV-S software also provides access to a comprehensive selection of diagnostic and performance data.
