Reliable application of absolute vibration sensors

摘要

Matching vibration transmitters to applications is not always straightforward. The experts at Sensonics outline the key points to be considered and the problems that can be encountered. Vibration transmitters based on piezoelectric technology are commonly used throughout industry for the monitoring and protection of smaller critical rotating plant, such as fans and pumps. For more expensive assets - steam and gas turbines, centrifugal pumps and compressors - rack based systems are standard as they offer the required levels of flexibility in measurement.
