Unveiling the G-Link 200: A Game-Changing Wireless Accelerometer Sensor
At the heart of the G-Link 200’s prowess is its integrated 3-axis high-performance accelerometer. This feature delivers extremely low noise waveform data which allows users to obtain accurate vibration, impact, motion, and tilt monitoring in industrial settings. Additionally, this device’s ability to offer a range of ±2G to 40G also makes it exceptionally versatile. Moreover, the integration of user-controlled high- and low-pass digital filters allow for tailored data collection. This feature ensures the information gathered is both relevant and precise.
The G-Link 200 also has a robust construction. It comes encapsulated in an IP67-rated weatherproof enclosure and a 303 series stainless steel mounting base. These features ensure its reliability in even the harshest industrial environments. Additionally, an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 °C further cements its suitability for varied applications. This includes everything from manufacturing floors to outdoor construction sites.
A Precise Wireless Accelerometer for Vibration Analysis
The G-Link 200 also excels against other accelerometers when conducting vibration analysis thanks to its derived vibration parameters. Additional features like acceleration RMS, Peak-to-Peak, Velocity RMS (IPS), and Crest Factor also make it one of the best accelerometers for long-term condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Finally, its ability to provide extremely low noise data also ensures that the vibration analysis is not only precise but also actionable.
Event-driven sampling is another innovative feature of the G-Link 200. This feature allows users to report only data of interest around predefined events and is important in scenarios where specific incident monitoring is required. The user-configurable pre and post-event duration settings also give users a comprehensive view of events. This includes capturing data leading up to and following an incident.
Why the G-Link 200 Stands Out in the Market
Other features that distinguish the G-Link 200 from other wireless accelerometers are its fast to deploy wireless sensor networks and reliable lossless data throughput. Additionally, an LXRS protocol ensures lossless data collection, scalable network size, and node synchronisation of ±50 µs. These features allow the G-Link 200 to act as part of a cohesive monitoring system rather than just as a stand alone sensor.
The G-Link 200’s capacity for continuous, periodic burst, or event-triggered operation, along with a wireless range of up to 1km, makes it highly adaptable. Whether it be continuous monitoring or specific event-based reporting, the G-Link 200 can handle diverse industrial demands with ease.
Real-World Applications: Diverse and Impactful
Real-world applications of the G-Link 200 include examples of vibration monitoring in heavy machinery to condition-based maintenance in manufacturing units. It is also perfect for high impact tests like Amusement Ride Characterisation Tests, where its precision and durability are required to ensure reliable performance.

These examples reflect the device’s capability to operate effectively in both standard industrial settings and more unique, specialised environments.
The Future of Industrial Monitoring: Wireless Triaxial Accelerometers
The G-Link 200 signals a new era in industrial monitoring where wireless triaxial accelerometers play a pivotal role. This device demonstrates a move towards smarter, more efficient, and proactive industrial operations. With the ability to transmit data in real-time and/or save to onboard memory, the G-Link 200 represents a significant step forward in data acquisition and analysis.
The future of industrial monitoring is shaping up to be one where decision-making is increasingly data-driven. As a result, leveraging the insights provided by advanced tools like the G-Link 200 will become even more imperative. The efficiency gains, safety improvements, and operational insights these devices offer can redefine industry standards, making them an indispensable part of your toolkit.
