Like Wilcoxon’s general purpose accelerometers, the LVEP050-TO5 was designed with the resolution, frequency response, and acceleration range required for effective machinery health monitoring. Despite its small size and low voltage requirements, its performance matches that of a traditional industrial accelerometer.

The LVEP050-TO5 was packaged in a TO-5 standard transistor canister for easy integration into wireless sensors as well as industrial manufacturing equipment. It can be mounted inside motors, pumps, fans, and other rotating equipment, to enable machinery self-diagnostics and asset monitoring via the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Benefits of TO-5 packaging
- Good vibration coupling from the canister base into the vibration pellet is essential to effective machinery health monitoring
- Light weight preserves usable measurement bandwidth
- Hermetic sealing prevents contaminants and moisture from entering the sensor, to ensure stable measurements over a long operational lifetime
- Small size enables one- and three-axis accelerometer designs
Take more measurements using less battery
Ultra-low power consumption was a driving force behind the development of the LVEP050-T05, to provide an ideal solution for battery powered and energy harvesting applications like wireless vibration sensors.
- Power consumption: 180 µW
- Voltage source: 3.0 – 5.5 VDC
- Current draw: 60 µA
- BOV settling time: 350 µs
The importance of settling time
For applications that use power only when taking a measurement, the BOV settling time is critical to battery conservation.
