NSXe's Low-cost Wi-Fi Vibration Sensor "conanair" Launched in U.S. to Diagnose Bearing Failures with New Technology

SUZUKA,Japan,Jan. 25,2023 -- NSXe Co. LTD.,a Japan-based company providing services for mechanicalequipment installation and maintenance,newly released a Wi-Fi vibrationsensor,"conanair," in the U.S. in January 2023. NSXe's Wi-Fi sensor enablesusers to detect bearing damage at a much lower cost than before. The companyhas started its digital marketing through online database Engineering360.

Wi-Fi vibration sensor "conanair" and "Under Sampling" technology

Conventionally,expensive and high-resolution vibration sensors were thought tobe required to capture the impact vibration caused by bearing damage. It hasalso been believed that inexpensive digital output sensors with low-samplingfrequency cannot measure such vibrations,or that high-frequency impactvibrations create a large fold-back noise that impedes measurement.

When a bearing is damaged,high-frequency impact vibrations are generated,andthe bearing damage can be diagnosed by checking the envelope (change inamplitude) and the interval between the vibrations. (This is an establishedtechnology with a track record of more than half a century.) The technologycalled "Under Sampling" is mainly used in wireless communication systems thatmust handle high-frequency signals. It makes active use of aliasing noise tohandle high-frequency signals even at low sampling frequencies.

Using a general-purpose vibration sensor that is capable of "Under Sampling,"NSXe confirmed the impact vibration intervals necessary for bearing diagnosis,and it succeeded in manufacturing the inexpensive,low-resolution "conanair."It can capture vibrations,enabling diagnosis of bearing fault.

Affordable Wi-Fi vibration sensor "conanair"

Just as a doctor would listen to a patient's heart during physical examination,the main purpose of "conanair" is to perform health checks on machinery andequipment. Until now,high-performance,expensive vibration sensors have beenrequired for precision diagnosis,but with this new technology,most of theprecision diagnosis of bearing fault can be covered by "conanair" (patentpending).

Future development

To meet the needs for use in hazardous areas,an explosion-proof version isunder development for release by the end of 2023. The company also expects thatits inexpensive vibration sensors will be widely used to detect abnormalitiesin bearings,reduction gears,and various other machines,contributing to ITsystems.
