Conventionally, expensive and high-resolution vibration sensors were thought to be required to capture the impact vibration caused by bearing damage.

Key Points: 
  • Conventionally, expensive and high-resolution vibration sensors were thought to be required to capture the impact vibration caused by bearing damage.
  • When a bearing is damaged, high-frequency impact vibrations are generated, and the bearing damage can be diagnosed by checking the envelope (change in amplitude) and the interval between the vibrations.
  • Using a general-purpose vibration sensor that is capable of "Under Sampling," NSXe confirmed the impact vibration intervals necessary for bearing diagnosis, and it succeeded in manufacturing the inexpensive, low-resolution "conanair.
  • The company also expects that its inexpensive vibration sensors will be widely used to detect abnormalities in bearings, reduction gears, and various other machines, contributing to IT systems.
