Vibration sensors are devices used to measure and monitor vibrations in various applications. These sensors are designed to detect and quantify changes in acceleration, which is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
In industry, machine vibrations are common, all working machines vibrate. As a result, there are many systems that deal with their measurement. The range of vibration sensors, otherwise known as accelerometers, is really wide – this is mainly due to the fact that each device has different characteristics, with different sensitivity of accuracy and range …
Equipment vibrations are never something desirable. While they cannot be eliminated, they can at least be reduced. There are many ways to accomplish this – including alignment disks and laser alignment of machines. But when should such alignment be performed? This is the job of vibration diagnostics – it diagnoses the extent of vibration in …
A vibration meter, or vibrometer, is a device with which you can perform a comprehensive analysis of the condition of your machinery. What is the difference between a vibrometer and a vibration meter? These terms occur interchangeably, and it can be considered that in the world of maintenance, both terms refer to a not-so-complicated, portable …
