Machine overspeed protection

The new SpeedSys300 is a state-of-the-art SIL 3 capable electronic overspeed detection system. Designed using the latest technology and standards, including advanced self-monitoring and diagnostics, the SpeedSys300 is fundamentally simple, reliable and robust – resulting in a 10 year proof test interval. In addition, the system is versatile and its modular architecture enables low-impact retrofitting for any critical application.

The safe, reliable and efficient operation of critical turbomachinery and other high-value rotating equipment requires both vibration and overspeed monitoring and protection. Vibration and speed measurement are similar in nature as both use comparable sensors to generate dynamic signals that require advanced real-time signal processing. So it is a logical step to take vibro-meter extensive knowledge and expertise from the world of vibration and apply it to speed applications.

One of the major drivers of change within the machinery protection market today is the global adoption of international safety standards. End-users, OEMs, insurance providers and the standards themselves demand suppliers align their product offerings with industry standards and expect solutions that allow them to meet and maintain appropriate safety levels.

This requires new systems and architectures that suit the technical and economic environments of both large and small rotating machinery. Vibro-meter portfolio expansion respond to this demand with its fully certified and modular system that fits critical applications whilst ensuring the highest level of certification – SIL 2 and SIL 3 capable by design.
