Reciprocating Machinery Protector monitors vibration.

March 21, 2007 - As 2-wire, loop-powered, 4-20 mA transmitter, Model 649A01 detects impacts from mechanical shock events that occur in or near machine's cylinder assembly. Hermetically sealed design can be interfaced with existing alarm, control, and monitoring systems, while field-programmable features let users customize each installation point and tailor output to suit application. Reciprocating compressor fault detection includes loose/broken bolts, cracked connecting rods, and scoring.

Reciprocating Machinery Protector for Continuous Vibration Monitoring and Protection of Reciprocating Compressors

March 9, 2007, Depew, NY, USA - The IMI Sensors division of PCB Piezotronics has announced the release of the Model 649A01 Reciprocating Machinery Protector (RMP), which utilizes the next generation of impact monitoring technology. This two-wire, loop-powered, 4-20 mA transmitter detects impacts from mechanical shock events, which typically occur in or near a machine's cylinder assembly. This technology is particularly effective on reciprocating machinery where these high frequency impacts are often overlooked, or when trending overall vibration levels. The hermetically sealed design can be easily interfaced with existing alarm, control, and monitoring systems such as PLC's, DCS's, and SCADA systems.

The field programmable features of the RMP allow users to customize each installation point, and tailor the output to suit their application. This includes variable set points and alarm levels for optimum performance. The RMP detects common reciprocating compressor faults such as loose or broken bolts, cracked connecting rods, and scoring in the cylinder.
