Overview

The CSI A0643TX is a triaxial accelerometer from Emerson’s AMS Machinery Health™ sensor line. It allows simultaneous vibration measurement in three directions, enabling faster route-based data collection. Its patented integral magnet allows quick attachment to flat or curved surfaces without special mounting hardware.

This sensor is widely used in predictive maintenance programs across oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and manufacturing industries, where early detection of imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear is critical.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Simultaneous 3-axis measurement → reduces route collection time by up to 50%.

• Integral magnet design → quick attachment to flat or curved surfaces without brackets.

• PeakVue™ compatibility → supports advanced bearing and impact detection technology.

• Single cable connection → simplifies setup and handling.

• Rugged design → hermetically sealed for harsh industrial environments.

Typical Applications

• Rotating Equipment Monitoring: Motors, pumps, compressors, turbines.

• Predictive Maintenance: Detects imbalance, misalignment, bearing defects, and lubrication issues.

• Industrial Reliability Programs: Supports condition-based maintenance strategies.

• Harsh Environments: Oil & gas, chemical plants, power generation facilities.

Example:
In a refinery, the A0643TX can be mounted on a pump casing to simultaneously capture horizontal, vertical, and axial vibration data, helping maintenance teams quickly identify bearing wear or misalignment.
