PHD is pleased to introduce a new sensor that provides monitoring of equipment performance.

The PHD Series KG Impact Sensor easily attaches to and monitors any piece of equipment that has motion. Featuring single-axis/bi-directional sensitivity, the sensor attaches to the moving part of a machine or device and monitors impact. A PLC can interpret the signal to warn of erratic operation or shut down a system to prevent catastrophic failure.

Using the KG Programmer, the KG Impact Sensor also can measure an impact and relay that value to the user. A single programmer has the ability to service an unlimited number of impact sensors throughout an entire plant.

PHD Series KG Impact Sensor Uses:

• Predictive maintenance device
  • Detects change in impact force
  • Can help reduce unanticipated downtime
  • Minimizes unnecessary preventive maintenance
• Productivity tripwire
  • Flags appropriate personnel of machine crash
  • Indicates when machine has crashed
  • Stops production of bad parts
• Benchmarking
  • Measures impact (programmer required)
  • Counts impacts or extreme vibration (<400hz)
  • Monitors centripetal forces
