How to Measure Vibrations for Condition Monitoring
Vibration sensors are essential devices used to monitor the operational health of machinery. They work by detecting vibrations produced by moving parts and converting this mechanical energy into an electrical signal. For instance, the RW506 Wireless Uniaxial Vibration & Temperature Sensor measures vibration along one axis, while the RW606 Wireless Triaxial Vibration & Temperature Sensor captures multi-directional vibrations, providing a comprehensive analysis.
Piezo non-contact vibration sensors, such as those used for pumps, utilize piezoelectric materials to detect vibrations without direct contact. The Lora MEMS accelerometer for condition-based monitoring (RW161) offers long-range data transmission, making it ideal for remote applications. Additionally, the Wireless Vibration and Temperature Sensor RW160 combines both measurements, allowing for effective monitoring of motor working conditions, as seen with the Motor Working Condition Sensor RS610. Other sensors, like the Impulse Vibration Temperature Sensor RS121(T) and the Wired Vibration and Temperature Sensor RH104C(T), provide valuable data for predictive maintenance. Overall, these sensors play a critical role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of industrial equipment.
