Why Phantom Vibration Monitoring?
Our vibration and condition monitoring system will help you to predict machine failures and save huge amount of costs due to non-programmed down times in production.
These are a sample of the most common failures that can be identified by our condition monitoring system:
Easy Installation
Wireless Technology in Vibration Monitoring has been developed in response to unmet needs of simplicity, for installation as for industrial cabling requirements. Our wireless sensors are very easy to install.
The connection of the sensors to the Gateway will be done automatically without any intervention.
Wireless Technology
Our vibration monitoring system uses ultra-low power BLE 5.0 technology.
Therefore, our wireless sensors can reach a useful life enought to take up to 100,000 measurements without the need to change the battery.
Additionally, this technology is the most reliable in the market, providing distance ranges of up to 1 km with no obstacles and 250 meters in line-of-sight with competing signals.
Furthermore, our wireless sensors have been successfully tested, even inside grounded metal cabinets, reaching distances of up to 60 meters. One of our clients even stated: “Phantom is the magic unicorn system we’ve been looking for.”
Exploring the advantages
Convenience: This is the most attractive of all the wireless sensors attributes.
Sometimes it is just too difficult to place sensors and wires all the way from a machine to a control room. Because the sensors does away with the cables and power requirements, wireless sensors can be placed anywhere within the range.
Reasonable Cost: If you have a PDA or a celular phone, you easily understand why going wireless is much more cost effective than wires. Cabling long distances can be quite expensive compared to wireless sensors.
Ease of use: Well, it is really easy to use and install. All complex parts are already sorted out internally, but of course, as for everything else, there is a learning curve.
Accessibility: Certain places on machines are simply not accessible with wires. Wireless Sensores might be a solution for that.
Security: The signal from the Phantom sensors is encrypted which ensures the reliability of the information and the security of your data.
– New – Modbus Universal Communication
Phantom Wireless Sensors include now Modbus TCP/IP which is a widely known and used universal communication protocol for industrial applications.
Thus, making them compatible with any PLC, Scada system or any other Modbus TCP/IP communicating software.
Applications:
Good vibration monitoring techniques require complete and accurate triaxial accelerometers as well. Hence being able to send 3 simultaneous FFT and Time waveform recordings for all three axis at once. We have improved to the maximum the energy consumption resulting in life batteries enough to take up to 100,000 measurements.. Additionally our wireless accelerometers can wake up on high vibration levels to send data and alarms. As an additional value, all of our wireless accelerometers have a built-in integrator so they can, internally, calculate velocity parameters for alarms. This way, RMS values can be sent as well with a selectable periodicity. Internal temperature is measured as well.
Send data Only when the Machine is Running
Phantom Vibration sensor can locally communicate with Phantom RPM sensor or Phantom Amperage sensor to evaluate if the machine is running. Hence avoiding irrelevant data. Ranges of RPM and Amperage can be configured to make the sensor record only within a desired condition.
Meet Phantom Vibration Sensor:
Temperature
All of our wireless sensors include temperature, however, we added wireless temperature sensors dedicated to measure extreme temperatures.
Wireless Amperage Sensor
Phantom includes non-invasive wireless current sensors to monitor power consumption from your electric motors. Moreover, each sensor includes 3 simultaneous channels to measure each of the 3 motor’s phases. Our Amperage wireless sensor includes internal temperature as well.
Wireless RPM sensor
We also created an RPM sensor for our vibration monitoring system. This sensor integrates your machine’s rotational speed to the overall analysis. As a result, you will be able to compare vibration, temperature and power consumption at different speeds.
General-Purpose Wireless Sensor Adapter
Our General Purpose Wireless sensor adapters are able to monitor virtually any type of signal coming from your own devices, such as:
General Purpose Wireless sensor adapter comes with a LEMO connector with capability of up to 4 channels or 2 differential inputs. Inputs can measure 0 to 5 volts.
4-20 mA Wireless Sensor Adapter
As a variation we created a 4-20 mA Wireless sensors adapter. The 24-bit 4-20 mA Input interfaces with any sensor providing a 4-20 mA signal to implement your data into an integrated wireless system. This adapter features 4 channels non-switched battery-saving input that extends the life of the internal battery.

What is a Balancing Machine?
A Balancing Machine is an instrument designed to measure and eliminate the imbalance mass of a rotor. In fact, Dynamic Balancing Machines spin the rotor to detect the center of mass through vibration sensors. These vibration sensors are usually accelerometers. Finally, simple calculations will indicate the position of the correction weights.
Imbalance / Unbalance
The imbalance is the distance between the center of rotation and the center of mass. Hence, it is said that the closer these 2 points are, the lower the amount of imbalance.
The EI-30 Balancing Machine is ideal for turbochargers & assemblies, as well as small rotors. It is a fully portable balancer that can be placed on any workbench. With the help of this balancer you can make efficient and quick balancing jobs with high accuracy.

With the SBS-1000 Soft Bearing Suspensions you will manufacture one of the most versatile balancing machines available. The SBS-1000 allow you to balance small rotors from 3 kg to medium sized rotors of 1000 kg. Balancing will be done quickly and accurately. You can download the drawings for this balancer here.
Features & Advantages
SBS-1000 allows you to make very high precision balancings on almost any kind of rotating parts.
SBS-1000 is a balancing support kit intended to provide you a way to build your own balancing machine at a very low cost with very high performances.
The SBS-1000 can support up to 1000 kg (500 kg each support), and with its 2 roller positions it allows shaft diameters of 152 mm (6 in). Also has an elevator screw to adjust the position in case the tracks rotor supports have different diameters up to 25.4 mm (1 in) and a swinging movement for auto-alignment.
Balancings are done at higher frequencies than the suspension’s resonance frequency. With all these characteristics, the system allows the rotor to spin around its gravity center instead of its geometric center.
The rolling elements have a swing system with a pitch up to 10°. This way the SBS-1000 gets aligned automatically with the shaft to prevent distortion on the shaft’s rolling surface.
SBS-1000 was designed with thin cantilever roller work supports to allow mounting rotors with very short shafts.
