If you have ever struggled to install a 4-post rack shelf on your own, the Rack Rail Support (RRS Series) is going to save you a lot of time and frustration.
Installs in Seconds
- Insert the RRS into the rack rail below the desired rack unit.
- Extend and rest your rack equipment ears on the RRS at both ends of the rack.
- Now effortlessly install your equipment and remove the support.
Features
- •Constructed of 14 gauge steel.
- •Options to fit either threaded rail, square or round hole rails.
- •Tool-free design.
- •Package of four (4).
- •Speeds up and simplifies installation of deeper, awkward to install rack equipment.
- •Finished in smooth grey powder paint finish.
- •TAA compliant for GSA Schedule purchases.
- •RoHS and REACH compliant
- •Manufactured in North America
- •Patent Pending

To enable long-term monitoring of vibrations, Pepperl+Fuchs recently launched a new portfolio of vibration sensors. You can find out what distinguishes these products in the following blog article. Using a wind turbine as an application example, we will also show you how you can use vibration and acceleration sensors in combination to keep an eye on both long-term and short-term changes in vibration.
The portfolio of vibration sensors
Pepperl+Fuchs has recently started offering a range of vibration sensors to perform reliable measurements of vibration velocity and acceleration in low or high frequency ranges. Compared to similar products, Pepperl+Fuchs’ vibration sensors have approvals up to SIL 2, a large measuring range of up to 128 mm/s, and automatic condition detection for ball bearings. Due to their robust housing and encapsulated electronics, the sensors impress with maintenance-free operation and a particularly long service life.
The three designs in the portfolio are available with different certifications and approvals. In this way, you can find the right vibration sensor for every application:
- VIM3 series: The compact VIM3 series is suitable for applications up to SIL 1/PL c, and has output options for analog or IO-Link.
- VIM6 series: The VIM6 series is approved for hazardous areas up to Zone 1/21. With an extended temperature operating range of -40°C … +125 °C, the sensors are ideal for high-temperature areas.
- VIM8 series: Due to a particularly robust housing made of duplex steel, the vibration sensors of the VIM8 series are designed for use in offshore applications as well as in harsh and hazardous areas of Zone 1/21. Moreover, the sensors have an approval up to SIL 2/PL d.
Vibration sensors vs. acceleration sensors
Not only vibration sensors, but also acceleration sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are used to measure changes in vibration: Both record the vibration acceleration in g. Nevertheless, the sensors differ in their technical operating principle and are therefore each suitable for different applications.
