IoT Wireless Vibration Sensors can be used for a multitude of applications and equipment when it comes to data collection and condition monitoring. Additionally, NCD Vibration Sensors can be used for preventative maintenance purposes to prevent future failure in many settings and on various types of machinery, such as compressors, pumps, motors, fans, and others.
To be able to prevent failure on machinery, it must first be determined when, and how often data needs to be gathered. It is possible to collect data too often. Alternatively, data can be collected too infrequently. Commanding too much bandwidth while operating a wireless sensor will often result in errors, or the sensor may not collect data as it should. Not collecting enough data may result in an absence of important readings. Choosing the right transmission interval will ensure an accurate and informative data collection. This will vary depending on the type of machinery on which the sensor is being applied, and how many sensors are attached to said machinery or equipment.
After the sensor has been installed, and data is being collected at a regular interval, the user will be more familiar with the preventative maintenance and condition monitoring NCD Vibration Sensors can offer. Thus, the sensors can be used to predict future machine failure. (Please see NCDs full line of vibration sensors – here.)
