What is a Casing Vibration Accelerometer?
Casing Vibration is the measurement of Vibration of the bearing casing or general casing of a rotary machine such as Motor, Pump, Fan, Compressor or Turbine. A Casing Vibration Accelerometer is a type of Vibration Sensor that provides a Voltage ...
What is Bias Voltage in Vibration Sensors?
Vibration Sensors are used to measure Vibration Levels of Machines for Monitoring, Protection and Analysis. They are thus a crucial element of a Vibration Monitoring or Machinery Protection System. ICP or IEPE sensors usually require 15-30 V DC ...
Mounting Options for Vibration Sensors - Accelerometers
The below figure shows the various options available for mounting of Vibration Sensors - Accelerometers
Which Standard do we follow for Calibration of our Vibration Sensors
Vibration Sensors help measure the vibration of a rotary equipment. They come in a variety of choices with different profiles, construction, mounting options and outputs. Calibration of a Vibration Sensor is the process of checking whether or not the ...
What is Sensitivity of an Accelerometer
An Accelerometer is a Sensor which has the ability to sense vibration acceleration. The SI unit of Acceleration is m/s^2. The Acceleration due to gravity is denoted as 'g'. The Acceleration due to gravity i.e 1 g is 9.81 m/s^2. Vibration Amplitude in ...
Accuracy of Vibration Sensors
Vibration Sensors have an output proportional to underlying vibration. This output is reported in terms of its sensitivity. When someone uses an accelerometer that has an output or sensitivity of 100 mV/g, this means that the sensor is providing a ...
