The IFM VSA006 is a single-axis MEMS acceleration sensor for vibration detection. It provides a -25 to +25 g measuring range across a 1–10,000 Hz frequency range. The sensor provides a 0–10 mA analogue output for connection to external diagnostic electronics. Its screened PUR cable and stainless-steel housing provide an industrial vibration-sensing construction. The sensor is designed for drag-chain-compatible installations and VSE vibration detection systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The VSA006 uses a capacitive MEMS sensing principle. Its ±25 g measurement range provides suitable dynamic range for machine vibration detection. The frequency range reaches 10,000 Hz. Its 142 µA/g sensitivity and 0.2% linearity deviation provide defined analogue measurement performance. This makes the sensor suitable for continuous vibration acquisition.
The sensor operates from 7.2–10.8 V DC and consumes less than 15 mA. It provides a 0–10 mA analogue output with a 300 Ω maximum load. The cable is screened and designed for connection to VSE diagnostic electronics. Reverse-polarity protection provides additional electrical protection. The cable arrangement supports industrial machine installation.
The sensor uses a stainless-steel 316L/1.4404 housing. It is designed for mounting using a mounting screw. The sensor has IP67 protection and is suitable for drag-chain use. Mechanical overload resistance is specified at 500 g. These characteristics make it suitable for continuous vibration monitoring in industrial machinery.

The VSA006 is designed to capture vibration signals from operating machinery. Its 10 kHz frequency range supports analysis of rapid vibration changes. The analogue output provides the signal to compatible diagnostic electronics. The single-axis design allows focused measurement along the installed direction. This makes it useful for targeted machine vibration monitoring.
The screened PUR cable is suitable for industrial installations where signal integrity matters. Drag-chain suitability allows the cable to be used in dynamic routing applications within the specified bending radius. The stainless-steel housing provides durable machine mounting. IP67 protection supports environmental exposure. This gives the VSA006 a practical combination of sensing and mechanical durability.
