VWV001 is a wireless vibration sensor designed for continuous machine condition monitoring. It measures vibration velocity and vibration acceleration through a single measurement axis. The sensor operates across a 10…1000 Hz frequency range and supports vibration velocity measurement up to 25 mm/s. Wireless communication reduces the need for conventional sensor cabling and simplifies installation on machinery. Its IP68 construction supports reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

VWV001 provides wireless access to vibration information from rotating machinery. The single-axis design focuses on vibration monitoring at the selected machine measurement point. Its 0…25 mm/s vibration-velocity range supports common machine-condition applications. Wireless transmission helps reduce wiring requirements around existing equipment. This makes the sensor suitable for retrofit and distributed monitoring systems.
The VWV platform transmits RMS vibration velocity and temperature information wirelessly. VWV001 provides vibration measurement over the 10…1000 Hz frequency range. The acceleration measurement range extends from -16 to +16 g. These values support early identification of abnormal machine behaviour. Temperature information adds another useful indicator for machine-condition assessment.
VWV001 uses a proprietary mesh communication approach for transferring measurement information to the appropriate gateway. Battery operation allows installation without dedicated power wiring. The gateway can connect to higher-level systems through industrial and IT communication interfaces. This architecture supports distributed monitoring across multiple machines. It is particularly useful where conventional cabling is difficult or expensive.

The battery-powered design eliminates a dedicated sensor power cable. This makes installation easier on machines where wiring access is restricted. Wireless communication also reduces cable routing around moving or difficult-to-access equipment. Long-term operation supports continuous monitoring without frequent maintenance intervention. The approach is well suited to adding condition monitoring to existing machinery.
VWV001 sends measurement information through the VWV wireless ecosystem. The gateway can forward information into IT and IIoT environments. This supports centralised visualisation and machine-condition analysis. Multiple wireless sensors can be deployed across a production area. The resulting architecture supports scalable predictive-maintenance programs.
