Compact Multi-Axis MEMS Vibration Monitor Provides Exceptional Low-Noise Performance and Embedded Analysis

Posted in: MEMS Products by Marketing | Comments Off Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is continuing to help industrial equipment designers improve system performance and reduce maintenance costs through more efficient vibration detection and isolation with the introduction today of the MEMS-based ADIS16228 iSensor vibration monitor. The fully integrated vibration analysis system features an embedded programmable processor that provides directional sensing and spectral analysis to identify and classify individual sources of vibration. This enables the earliest possible detection, identification, and isolation of vibration sources from equipment and bearing wear that otherwise can lead to operating errors and costly equipment downtime. The noise performance of the ADIS16228 vibration monitor is specified at only 248 µg/ √Hz, across a dynamic range of ±18g, configurable to settings of 0 g to 1 g/5 g/10 g/20 g. By embedding these small vibration monitors, applications ranging from wind turbines to precision factory automation and assembly equipment will benefit from automatic vibration profiling. read more…
