Vibration sensor for industrial systems
30/09/2020
Mouser Electronics Inc, a new product introduction (NPI) distributor with a large selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the ADcmXL1021-1 vibration sensor from Analog Devices Inc.Based on Analog Devices’ microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor technology, the ADcmXL1021-1 module is a complete sensing system that monitors for early indications of possible machine fatigue and failure specifically in industrial and transportation equipment to help reduce repair costs and maintain a high level of productivity.
The ADcmXL1021-1, available from Mouser Electronics, is a single z-axis vibration monitoring subsystem designed to simplify the development of smart sensor nodes in condition-based monitoring (CBM) systems. The device incorporates a wide-bandwidth, low-noise MEMS accelerometer plus an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), high-performance signal processing, data buffers, record storage and a user interface that works easily with most embedded processors. The device’s signal processing includes high-speed data sampling (220 kSPS), 4096 time sample record lengths, filtering, windowing, fast Fourier transform (FFT), user-configurable spectral or time statistic alarms and error flags.
The ADcmXL1021-1 uses an ADXL1002 MEMS accelerometer with ultra-low noise density (26 µg/√Hz) to support excellent resolution. With a wide bandwidth of DC to 10 kHz, the device enables tracking of key vibration signatures on many machine-based platforms. The ADcmXL1021-1 offers a high operating input range of ±50 g, making it suitable for vibration measurements in high-bandwidth Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 applications, such as vibration analysis systems that monitor and diagnose machine or system health, as well as safety shut-off sensing.
Mouser also stocks the EVAL-ADCM-1 evaluation kit, which includes the ADcmXL1021-1 module, a breakout board, an ADcmXL interface board, a Cypress Semiconductor EZ-USB® FX3™ board and necessary cables. Engineers can connect the kit to a PC to access evaluation software for effortless configuration of the module, register set-up, data display and data logging.
