For Turbochargers and Engines M12 Connected Vibration and Temperature Sensor
ViBT-es TC-M12-50
Monitor the health of your turbochargers and heavy engines with batteryless technology. ViBT-es TC-M12-50 converts the heat from the engine into energy to autonomously report critical mechanical data 24/7, offering perfect mounting rigidity through its M12 connection.
Thanks to the industrial M12 screw connection (bolt), it is directly and rigidly mounted to turbocharger bodies to detect vibrations and temperatures in their purest form.
Converts the body temperature generated during the turbocharger's operation into electricity via the thermoelectric effect. It completely erases operational burdens such as battery replacement and cable repair from your maintenance schedule.
Provides traceability of unbalance, looseness, and bearing weaknesses in ISO 10816 standards by performing high-resolution acceleration measurement on the X, Y, and Z axes; proactively protecting engine life.
Transmits data via the BLE supported communication protocol without being affected by metal density inside the factory. Offers instant and historical monitoring directly from your existing SCADA systems or via the ESCOM-es Dashboard.
Measurement Precision in Large Equipment
Vibration frequencies in massive engine components like turbochargers are complex. Standard sensors can confuse structural resonances of the engine with actual fault signals, leading to false alarms. Rigid connection is critically important.
Multiplying Cost of Unplanned Downtime
A single unplanned downtime in power plants or ships where these engines are used means massive financial losses.
ViBT-es TC-M12-50: Integrated Solution with M12
ViBT-es TC-M12-50 is calibrated to be the 'vibration twin' of the turbocharger body. With its special M12 design, it mounts onto the machine in seconds and produces the most reliable data right at the source, without batteries.
Maximum Thermal Transfer and Energy
ViBT-es TC-M12-50 transfers the heat naturally occurring on the turbocharger's body to the energy harvesting unit in the most efficient way. With only a 5-degree temperature difference between the environment and your heat-radiating machine, it reaches instant 5-second sampling rates to monitor your machine at all times.
24/7 Monitoring of Critical Parameters
ViBT-es TC-M12-50 instantly captures the slightest vibrations or temperature increases in the system, allowing you to intervene before it turns into destructive damage in your turbocharger.
ESCOM-es Dashboard
Vibration and temperature data from ViBT-es TC-M12-50 are transferred to SCADA systems or the ESCOM-es Dashboard via a specially designed industrial Gateway (Wi-GaTe). This platform creates a digital twin of the turbocharger, offering 24/7 remote monitoring and analysis.
Operating fully compliant with the ISO 10816 standard, ViBT-es TC-M12-50 ensures compliance with international energy and industrial operation standards. This integration guarantees operational reliability and data quality.
Secure Your Turbochargers and Engines
Stop failures weeks in advance using vibration and temperature data, without waiting for smoke, thanks to M12-connected, wireless and batteryless technology.
Frequently Asked Questions
While general-purpose sensors focus on average values to adapt to every machine on the market, ViBT-es TC-M12-50 is a specifically engineered product designed to generate energy from the thermal characteristics of critical machines like turbochargers and read lossless vibrations with its M12 rigid connection.
The industrial M12 connection mechanically locks the sensor rigidly to the engine body. This ensures that much higher frequency (harmonic) data is measured without noise and loss compared to magnetic or clamped mounts.
The turbocharger's body temperature produces the thermal energy required for our Energy Harvesting unit to operate without batteries. If the temperature difference (DELTA T) between the turbocharger body and the environment is above 5 degrees, the sensor will never stop sending data as long as the engine runs.
Our sensor uses the optimized BLE protocol for wireless communication. Additionally, our Wi-GaTe gateway units synchronize within seconds to collect this data without loss.
Our product has an IP68 sealing class. It is manufactured from high-strength industrial materials designed to operate under hot oil vapor, high humidity, and extreme vibrations.
Yes. Our Wi-GaTe unit communicates via Modbus RTU/TCP and Profinet. This allows you to transfer all vibration and temperature data to your existing SCADA screens. We also offer 24/7 monitoring via the ESCOM-es Dashboard.
