Velocity sensors

The new, lower-cost 786V velocity sensor captures the frequency range of most common machine faults, in a lighter-weight, more compact housing than legacy velocity sensors.

786V velocity sensor

Model: 786V

With a wide frequency response range (1-12,000 Hz at +/- 3dB), the 786V can capture signs of the most common developing faults - imbalance, misalignment, looseness - on rotating machines. A 100 mV/in/sec sensitivity and +/-5% sensitivity tolerance make for excellent measurement accuracy, and the sensor's rugged design ensures long-term reliability in industrial installations.

Key features and benefits

Velocity vibration measurements can be easily compared against ISO standards
Ideal for monitoring common mid-frequency faults – imbalance, misalignment, looseness
Eliminates noise influences from external integrators
More compact size than legacy sensors
Lower cost without loss of reliability or performance

Comparison vs. Legacy Velocity Sensors
Key specifications

The new 786V provides a broader frequency response, tighter sensitivity tolerance, higher vibration limit, and a more compact size than the legacy 793V sensor, at a significantly lower cost.
