Turck expands condition monitoring sensor portfolio
27/08/2025
In addition to the CMVT vibration/temperature sensor and the CMTH humidity/temperature sensor, a CMMT magnetic field/temperature sensor now complements Turck’s portfolio of condition monitoring sensors, thus opening up new fields of application.
The new CMMT three-axis magnetic field/temperature sensor with IO-Link is the third sensor type that Turck has developed specifically for easy-to-use and retrofittable condition monitoring applications. It complements the company’s existing range, consisting of the CMVT vibration/temperature sensor and the CMTH for humidity/temperature measurements.
With the CMMT, the combined measurement of both the magnetic field and temperature enables simple fault detection on motors or in processes with magnetic components. In addition, the new sensor also opens up applications that were previously impossible, such as the non-contact detection of the rotation and movement of metal objects without visual contact.
The CMVT detects vibration on three axes and evaluates them internally. It directly outputs a warning signal if the set limit values are exceeded, either via IO-Link or as a switching signal. Vibration and temperature are the key characteristic values for detecting machine faults early on, such as those caused by an imbalance of rotating parts.
The CMTH continuously records humidity and temperature and outputs the values via IO-Link or as a switching signal. This makes the sensor particularly suitable for monitoring the climatic conditions in production and warehouse buildings for all sectors handling goods that are sensitive to humidity and temperature.
When commissioning the condition monitoring sensors, users are supported by special apps in the Turck Automation Suite (TAS). These applications visualise the sensor data live in the web browser and can be used via any Turck IO-Link master without additional software. The device functions are also set via the TAS or other IO-Link device description (IODD) interpreters. In addition to the process values, additional information such as operating hours or switching cycles can also be output via the digital interface.
