Product overview
The SKF CMSS 2200 is a rugged industrial accelerometer for measuring machinery vibration. It converts mechanical acceleration into a proportional electrical signal that can be analysed by a vibration-monitoring system or portable data collector.
Its low-profile, side-exit construction is useful where installation space above a bearing housing is limited or where a straight-exit cable could interfere with nearby machinery. Official SKF CMSS 2200 product page.

Faults that vibration monitoring can identify
When used with suitable monitoring and analysis equipment, the sensor can support detection of:
- Bearing deterioration
- Rotor imbalance
- Shaft misalignment
- Mechanical looseness
- Gear damage
- Resonance
- Foundation problems
- Lubrication-related bearing defects
- Cavitation and abnormal pump operation
The sensor alone does not diagnose the fault; it supplies vibration data to the connected monitoring system.
Compatible monitoring equipment
The CMSS 2200 can be used with compatible SKF and third-party systems that provide the correct constant-current sensor supply, including:
- SKF Multilog monitoring systems
- SKF Microlog portable data collectors
- Online condition-monitoring systems
- Vibration analysers
- Machinery-protection systems
- Compatible IEPE sensor-input modules
Electrical compatibility must be checked before connection.
