Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies
Frederick, Maryland vibration-sensor maker founded 1960, now an Amphenol brand; supplies IEPE accelerometers and transmitters for machine condition monitoring.
Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, the legal entity Amphenol (Maryland), Inc., manufactures vibration-monitoring equipment from its Frederick, Maryland headquarters. Former staff of the United States Navy's David Taylor Research Center founded the company as Wilcoxon Research, Inc. in 1960. Meggitt PLC acquired it in 2004, operating it as Meggitt (Maryland) Inc. and later Meggitt Sensing Systems, before Amphenol Corporation purchased the business in June 2017 and introduced the current Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies brand.
The product line centers on IEPE accelerometers, 4-20 mA vibration transmitters, and HART-enabled smart transmitters, along with hazardous-area sensors certified to FM, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, and SIMTARS standards for Class I Division 1 and 2 environments. Named products include the 883M triaxial digital Modbus accelerometer, the VDS130 vibration data source, the H23 hydrophone, and the LVEP050-TO5 low-power embedded accelerometer, alongside velocity sensors, portable vibration meters, and mounting hardware for monitoring pumps, motors, fans, and gearboxes. Sensors are distributed through channel partners including Allied Electronics, Digi-Key, Mouser, and Heilind.
Wilcoxon is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001, operates from a Frederick facility expanded with a new building in October 2018, and was named to Frederick County's Top 50 Manufacturers list in 2024. The company functions as part of the Amphenol Sensor Technology Group.
