Product description
The VS1 is an advanced vibration sensor powered by a patented electromagnetic generator, designed specifically for vibrating screens, feeders, and other vibratory equipment. Built for rugged industrial use, it features IP67 ingress protection and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C.
Unlike battery-powered sensors that compromise between data volume and battery life, the self-sustaining VS1 eliminates the need for battery replacements while enabling continuous, high-frequency data streaming in real time. It measures acceleration on three axes using a high-precision MEMS accelerometer with selectable sampling rates up to 16,384 Hz and includes an internal temperature sensor.
With an IP67-rated, lightweight anodized aluminum and PA6 enclosure, the device is built for durability and easy mounting. It communicates via 2.4 GHz radio frequencies, supporting data rates of up to 1 Mbps and ensuring robust wireless connectivity.
Featuring edge data storage and a typical product lifetime of more than five years, the VS1 is the ideal choice for process monitoring and predictive maintenance in demanding environments.

We’ve gathered some of the most common questions and answers here. Learn more in our Learning Center.
Are the sensors suitable for harsh environments?
Yes. The sensor families as rugged and suitable for harsh industrial environments, with IP67 protection for the VS1 and IP65 protection for the VS10-C, TR1 and SB1, with operating temperatures down to -40 °C.
Learn moreCan ANURA be used on vibrating screens?
Yes. Vibrating screens are the primary use case for ANURA, both for permanent monitoring and field-based diagnostics. The solution is specifically designed to handle the dynamics of vibratory equipment and can also be used on feeders and similar assets.
Learn moreCan ANURA help improve process performance?
Yes. ANURA is not only designed for reliability and maintenance, but also for improving overall process performance. By providing detailed vibration data, it enables better visibility into material flow, screen efficiency, and how equipment operates under different conditions – helping you make more informed, data-driven decisions.
Learn moreCan I start with one sensor and expand later?
Yes, our kits support a scalable approach, letting you start with a limited number of wireless sensors and easily expand over time as your monitoring needs evolve.
Learn moreDoes VS1 need batteries or cables?
No. VS1 is powered by a patented electromagnetic generator and designed for wireless installation on vibrating equipment. Want to understand Vibration Energy Harvesting further? Learn more in our insight post about the technology.
Learn moreHow are the sensors mounted?
The sensors use magnetic mounting as standard and can also be mounted using screws, adhesive tape, or glue depending on the application. VS1 uses three magnets, while VS10-C uses two magnet mounts.
