PC420 Series 4 mA to 20 mA Vibration Sensors

Using Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies' 4 mA to 20 mA sensor to track a machine’s vibration levels over time is a cost-effective way to incorporate vibration data into CBM programs. Rising vibration levels indicate developing faults, allowing preventive maintenance to be scheduled in advance and increasing operational uptime. The direct output to a PLC, DCS, or SCADA system reduces walkaround data collection time, makes setup simple, and allows simple trending of vibration along with parameters such as temperature, pressure, or flow already being monitored.

Available with velocity or acceleration output and with multiple options for full-scale range, Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies' PC420 sensors are suitable for a wide variety of applications. Velocity output sensors are simple to compare against ISO guidelines, making them especially useful for monitoring programs without a dedicated vibration analyst. Common faults can be quickly identified with 4 mA to 20 mA trend data, allowing targeted maintenance and making operations more efficient.
