438D Vibration Switches (mm/sec)
An Economical Machine Monitor with Remote Sensor
More than a simple switch, but not an expensive monitor either, the 438D is a single-channel vibration monitor that can be located in a centralized location, remote from operating equipment. The 438D is on guard around the clock to provide cost-effective protection of motors, pumps, fans and a wide range of other rotating equipment. It provides continuous digital readout of the vibration level, and signals when a predetermined setpoint level is reached.
