Product Specification

VIBROCONTROL 1800 Series

Features
VIBROCONTROL 1800 Series enables cost
effective machine protection for all critical rotating
equipment with roller element bearing as well as
sleeve bearings.
• 4-vibration channels, plus
• 2-channels process & speed
• extremely flexible with modular link concept
• time waveform recording and data storage
Dedicated solution via 3 types:
• VIBROCONTROL 1850
Acceleration Sensors (CCS)
• VIBROCONTROL 1860
Velocity Sensors
• VIBROCONTROL 1870
Displacement Sensors

Applications
VIBROCONTROL 1800 Series of Vibration Monitors are machine protection devices with 4 real-time vibration input
channels, 1 tacho input and 1 process input channel. These vibration monitors are combining protection with condition
monitoring of roller bearing machines, by means of a variety of bearing failure detectors like Envelope, Kurtosis and
Crest factor. VIBRONCONTROL 1800 offers 4-20 mA outputs, danger and alarm relays, a RS-485 and USB port for
communication and time waveform recording of RAW data. Several features support the ISO/EN 13849-1 standard.
