The PCH Cloud IoT condition monitoring solution can now be configured for integration with edge computers, enabling OEMs and service providers to easily integrate vibration and process data in their offering. INCREASED IT SECURITY AND TIMELY MAINTENANCE IT security is becoming a high priority in manufacturing. The PCH Cloud edge configuration enables manufacturers, OEMs...

We have updated our PCH 1420 4-channel SIL-2 vibration monitor offering. From Spring 2021 we offer isolated and buffered outputs to each vibration input channel as well as for the speed sensor. PCH 1420 with buffered output comes as a compact unit with 4 BNC vibration outputs on the front as well as from the screw terminals. Additionally, from screw terminals, the bu...

Typically there is no requirement for measurements to be monitored remotely, as this is precisely what the vibration monitor does internally. But if you want to find the history up until the alarm has been given, the running vibration measurements are now saved on a local SD card and can be processed on an ordinary PC by users themselves. Some users plot a few measure...

Each PCH 1420 vibration channel operates within 2 simultaneously running frequency bands. The bands are configurable from 0.7 Hz up to 11.5 kHz and will typically monitor the 10-1000 Hz area (ISO 10816-3), as well as the high frequency area, 2-10 kHz, where roller bearing resonances are detected. PCH has chosen to use several bearing fault detectors simultaneously, in or...

The PCH 1290 Redundant Vibration Guard can be used as a machine protection system for rotating machinery, as the actual vibration level is internally compared real-time to preset thresholds (alert and danger level). The response time for an alarm update can be set lower than 100 ms (according to API 670). PCH Vibration Guard is often used for monitoring of blowers, ve...

When mounted on a bearing housing the PCH 1106 T Vibration Sensor will measure the surface temperature as well as the vibrations from the rotating shaft. An increase in temperature usually indicates a bearing problem and must be attended to. The temperature measurement is directly converted to a 4-20 mA signal inside the sensor. Any unbalance or misalignment in the ma...
