Vibration sensors
Vibration sensors measure oscillatory machine motion and provide data for mechanical condition assessment. Monitoring motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes can reveal signs of imbalance, shaft and coupling misalignment, bearing defects or mechanical looseness. Identifying the cause depends on the measured parameters and signal analysis. Selection considers acceleration or vibration velocity, frequency bandwidth, number of axes and mounting method. IEPE signals, 4–20 mA outputs or IO-Link data must match the monitoring and evaluation system.
