Our solutions cover a wide range of monitoring solutions for your gas and steam turbines, wind turbines, gearless mill-drives, hydro-generators, pumps, fans and cooling towers. Our sensors, acquisition systems and condition monitoring software provide key information for the protection and monitoring of your assets. Our monitoring solutions include shaft and bearing vibration, axial thrust position, magnetic flux, airgap monitoring, runner clearance and roller bearings monitoring.
Each machine is unique, and each customer is different, and we profoundly respect their individuality. Whether you have one single machine needing simple monitoring system or a complex infrastructure with multiple machines requiring sophisticated monitoring solutions, we are your partner. For us, customising also means that your existing infrastructure can benefit from the high quality data we deliver through our open and extended interfaces.
MC-Monitoring’s sensor technology is based on state-of-the-art precision sensors, manufactured in Switzerland by highly qualified personnel. MC-Monitoring’s acquisition systems are cost effective and simple to use. Their experienced engineers designed them to process data using different monitoring solutions for effective machine protection (MPS) and for condition monitoring (CMS). The condition monitoring systems provide relevant information in order to ensure accurate machine diagnostic and analysis. MC-m's communication interface is a logical result of their philosophy, which grants for open, reliable, and secured interfaces.
The selection of the right sensor is crucial for successful implementation of monitoring systems. We can guide you in this difficult task. Operational environment is especially important. MC-M provides special sensors like airgap, fibreoptic or magnetic flux, which can be installed inside high electrical and magnetic fields. Our runner clearance probes are specially designed to be resistant to abrasion. Sensors characteristics must be suitable for the environmental and physical properties.
MC-m is commercializing magnetic field transducers in order to bring more values for our customers. Magnetic Field Transducer MFT-100 is based on hall-effect principle and is therefore well suitable for the monitoring of hydro generators or ring motors. The sensor can be powered using standard power supply or directly from the MC-monitoring’s data acquisition units without additional hardware. The sensor head is resistant to temperature up to 125°C and is interchangeable.

PPT-280 is the new generation of smart proximity probes used for non-contact measurement of the shaft vibration and position. The sensor is designed with integrated linearization electronic in order to ensure excellent linearity and active temperature compensation. The built-in oscillator tuned above 750kHz ensures measurement with minimal magnetic run out effect. The PPT-280 can be used either for measurement between 0.2mm and 2.2mm or 0.2mm and 4.2mm. The voltage output is directly proportional to the
measured distance between the metal target and the sensor tip. The sensor can be powered either with -24V or +24V depending on configuration or ordering code.The embedded sensor head is resistant to shock. The sealed body is resistant to oil and water on both sides of the sensor. Optional PPT-990 configuration kit (software, cable, and USB adapter) allows to setup measuring range, power supply type (+24V or –24V) and target material and to perform on-site recalibration. Two transducers PPT-380 and PPT-480 complement the smart proximity probes products range. Eagle PPT-380 is designed with a Modbus interface for digital communication of vibration parameters such as pk-pk or gap and a digital output for alarming. Eagle PPT-480 converts vibration parameters (pk-pk or gap) into a scalable 4..20mA analogue output. Both transducers can be configured using PPT-990 configuration kit. MC-M also provides API-670 compliant proximity probes for industrial applications.

Linearized velocity sensors are designed for low frequency vibration monitoring with the sensitivity much bigger than standard piezo-acceleration sensors in low frequencies. Therefore, their application is strongly recommended for the monitoring of hydro turbines running below 300RPM . Based on electrodynamic principle, the sensor provides signals directly proportional to the vibration velocity amplitude. The sensor is available with linearization electronic for frequency measurement from 0.5Hz, and without electronic for passive measurement from 10Hz.
