Your questions about the Milli-Vib vibration sensor, answered.

We get asked a lot about how Milli-Vib works, so we’ve pulled together the questions that come up most:

Q) What does the Milli-Vib monitor?
A) Vibration levels in industrial machinery, using RMS velocity measurement in mm/s.

Q) How is it powered?
A) A simple 2-wire, 4-20mA loop.

Q) What is the standard measuring range?
A) 0–25 mm/s RMS, with a 0–50 mm/s version available on request.

Q) How is it installed?
A) To achieve maximum sensitivity, mount the sensor vertically along the Y-axis of the machinery.

Q) What certifications does it carry?
A) ATEX, UKEx, IECEx, CSA and CE.

Q) Is it suitable for harsh or hazardous environments?
A) Yes. The Milli-Vib has a robust IP66 stainless steel enclosure and is available with relevant hazardous-area certifications.

Q) Can it monitor temperature too?
A) Yes. The Milli-Con version combines vibration monitoring with optional NTC or PT100 surface temperature monitoring.

Vibration monitoring, made practical.

A belt out of alignment by a few millimetres can cost a lot more than that.

Left unchecked, belt misalignment leads to wear, damage, and downtime. The good news: it’s one of the easiest hazards to catch early with the right sensor in place.

The combine’s finished. The risk isn’t.

Once grain leaves the field, it still has to be conveyed, elevated and stored, and that’s where a lot of real operational risk sits.

Worth a reminder as harvest season continues.

1909: the year 4B introduced the first grain elevator bucket.

117 years later, we’re still solving the same core challenge – moving grain efficiently and safely, just with far better tools than we started with.
