Unlike traditional vibration sensors such as accelerometers or transmitters, MicroWire operates on a different physical principle. Its passive nature allows embedding within materials without structural damage. For monitoring multiple devices, each can be equipped with its own MicroWire, yet only one interface is needed to track all of them efficiently.
RVmagnetics introduces the first multi-sensor of micro-dimensions, capable of monitoring and measuring vibrations up to 10 kHz. With its ultra-small size (30–70 µm), it can be glued to an object's surface without adding weight, ensuring measurement accuracy.
The possibilities of vibration monitoring are vast. Thanks to its magnetic sensing principle, even contactless vibration detection is seamless. The MicroWire sensor can also function as a digital threshold sensor, alerting users when vibrations exceed safe limits, helping to prevent damage and ensure operational safety.
Why Is Vibration Measurement Important?
Vibration measurement is crucial for monitoring structural integrity, predicting failures, and optimizing performance in various applications. It helps detect anomalies early, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. You can read more about the importance of vibration measurements here.
Range of frequency spectrum up to 10 kHz
When the composite lamella is poked, it vibrates at its resonant frequency, along with the MicroWire. The black-box detects its vibrations through magnetic field changes, processes the data, and transmits the frequency spectrum via Bluetooth to the tablet. A custom app displays the Fourier transformation, enabling the determination of resonant frequency and vibration intensity.
Conclusion:
Our clients' needs are diverse, and each case requires a custom-developed solution with high resolution, accuracy, and clarity of results. The presented contactless experiment has demonstrated the feasibility of resonant frequency and vibration intensity detection using a MicroWire sensor. Other possibilities include 3D vibration monitoring, combined vibration and temperature measurement and equipment degradation monitoring.
