IFM VTV122 Vibration Transmitter

The IFM VTV122 is a compact MEMS-based vibration transmitter engineered for precision monitoring of machine vibration in compliance with ISO 10816 standards. With a measuring range of 0–25 mm/s (RMS) and frequency range of 10–1000 Hz, this unit outputs a 4–20 mA signal proportional to vibration intensity. Housed in rugged 316L stainless steel with IP67/IP68/IP69K protection, it ensures long-term stability under extreme industrial conditions, making it ideal for condition monitoring in rotating equipment.
