BS40

Broadband Structure-Borne Sound Sensor

The broadband structure-borne sound sensor BS40 is used in conjunction with the portable SONAPHONE ultrasonic testing device in the following fields of application:

  • Condition monitoring of rotating parts of machines
  • Monitoring and diagnostics of failures (e.g. lubrication status) and defects at roller bearings.

Advantages at a Glance

  • Perfect for confined spaces (only half the size of BS20)
  • Frequency range: 15 kHz to 100 kHz
  • Hardware filter high-pass (< 1 kHz) for more flexibility in machine diagnostics
  • Robust, stainless steel housing (laser welded)
  • Improved EMC stability incl. shielded cable
  • Maximum flexibility due to standard threaded pin, e.g. magnets or adhesive pads with internal thread ¼"-28 UNF
  • Proven transducer principle retained in the form of piezocomposite

The BS40 structure-borne sound sensor has been specially designed for the following tasks:

  • Condition monitoring of rotating parts of machines
  • Monitoring and diagnostics of failures (e.g. lubrication status) and defects at roller bearings.
