Sensoteq Tackles Excessive Vibration in an Offshore Oil Rig Pump
Kappa X
Wireless 10kHz Vibration Sensor
​
Works with any rotating element machine, collects temperature, vibration, and speed data, and is suitable for all industries.
Features
10 kHz FMax
Excellent vibration coverage of both high and low speed machines.
High bandwidth provides precision measurement and good early warning capability for a wide range of fault types.
64G Peak Vibration
Captures high levels of mechanical shock over a wide peak vibration profile.
​
Autoscaling ensures excellent accuracy even on low energy machines.
IP69K Ingress Protection
Durable and reliable in the face of extreme weather, cleaning processes, and explosive atmospheres.
​
ATEX and IECEx available on request.
​
​
5+ Year Replaceable Battery
The sensor boasts an impressive 5-year battery life out of the box.
Adjustable configuration allows for a further increase of battery performance.
​
Sampling Frequency
Kappa X captures a time waveform at a sample frequency of 25.6kHz. This resolves to a 10kHz FMAX (maximum frequency) for analysis at 6400 LOR (Lines of Resolution). This is ideal for vibration analysis of industrial machinery, covering any applications running from nominal to very high speeds, such as gearboxes. It is possible to envelope the signal using Sensoteq’s Analytix platform to provide an unparalleled level of diagnostic capability in a wireless sensor.
