The IFM VKV022 is a vibration monitor for continuous machine condition monitoring. It measures vibration velocity from 0 to 50 mm/s RMS across a 10 to 1,000 Hz frequency range. The unit provides one PNP switching output and one 4–20 mA analogue output. It operates from 18–32 V DC and uses MEMS sensing technology. Its M8 × 1.25 mounting and IP67 protection provide a practical industrial installation solution.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The VKV022 provides a 0–50 mm/s RMS measurement range. This gives it twice the nominal vibration range of the VKV021. Its 10–1,000 Hz frequency range is suitable for many rotating-machine vibration applications. The monitor is designed according to DIN ISO 10816. This makes it useful for detecting elevated vibration levels in industrial machinery.
The VKV022 provides one digital PNP switching output and one analogue 4–20 mA output. The switching output can be used to generate a machine alarm. The analogue output allows vibration information to be transmitted continuously to a PLC or control system. This provides both discrete alarm and continuous monitoring functionality. The outputs simplify integration into conventional industrial control architectures.
The monitor operates from 18–32 V DC and has IP67 protection. Its MEMS sensing element provides compact vibration detection. The M8 × 1.25 mounting connection is tightened to 15 Nm. The device is designed for industrial machine monitoring. Its compact format allows installation close to the monitored machine component.

The 0–50 mm/s range allows the VKV022 to monitor higher vibration levels. The switching output can provide an alarm when the configured limit is exceeded. The analogue signal allows the control system to observe vibration continuously. This supports both machine protection and maintenance analysis. It provides a compact alternative to larger vibration-monitoring systems.
The intuitive switch-point adjustment simplifies initial setup. Technicians can establish the required alarm level directly at the machine. IP67 protection supports use in industrial environments. The M8 mounting provides secure mechanical installation. These characteristics support practical machine-level condition monitoring.
