Analog Devices ADXL001: MEMS-based vibration sensor provides early detection

Based on the vendor’s iMEMS motion-signal processing technology, the high-bandwidth ADXL001 MEMS vibration sensor enables monitoring of equipment performance. The industrial vibration and shock sensor allows early detection of motor-bearing vibration and irregularities as high as 22 kHz. Available in dynamic ranges of ±70, ±250, or ±500g, the sensors have a 22-kHz resonant-frequency bandwidth and provide frequency responses to dc. Additional features include a nonlinearity of 0.2% of full-scale range, a –40 to +125°C temperature range, and the ability to function on a 3.3 to 5V supply. The vibration sensor requires no calibration. Measuring 5×5-mm in an LCC-8 ceramic package, the ADXL001 vibration and shock sensor costs $35 (1000).

This sensor in it self can not do more than any other vibration sensor. You may, though, combining it with a useful software developed by Mr. J. Judd, Hamden CT. That will give you a ervy powerful early detection for motor bearings.

Since its release back in May I have been trying to source a single sample to test. Neither AD nor distributors are able to supply.
