Vibration Sensor; a Device That Measures the Amount and Frequency of Vibration
Vibration Sensor |
Vibration sensors are piezoelectric accelerometers that sense vibration;
they widely are used to measure fluctuating speeds/accelerations or for normal
vibration measurement. These sensors are flexible devices used to measure
various processes. Vibration sensors use the piezoelectric effects, measuring
changes within temperature, pressure, acceleration, or force by changing to an
electrical charge. The maximum amplitude or range of the vibration being
measured will determine the range of the sensor that can be used.
The vibration sensor measures several different parameters by converting vibration
into electrical equivalent output. These sensors can be used to measure
vibrations in the rotary machines and help detect faults in machine components.
Moreover, they help improve safety because it is able to detect frequencies
that can harm both machinery and people working with or on them, thereby
improving the accuracy of the machinery. Vibration sensors further ensure and
enhance the safety and accuracy of both the machines and the people operating
in the environment.
Thus, vibration sensor finds
their applications in various end-user industries such as oil & gas, aerospace,
medical & pharmaceuticals, coal & quarry, consumer electronics, and
automobile, among others. Moreover, there is a growing demand for wireless
vibration sensors in various end-user industries. For example, in November
2019, Emerson Electric Co. (US) launched the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor, a
low-cost, easy-to-deploy sensor that helps identify failure modes and prevent
potential problems involving rotating assets.
Vibration sensors are sensors used to measure, display, and analyze
frequency, displacement, velocity, or acceleration. They are widely used in the
manufacturing sector, owing to their high efficiency. Vibration sensors are an
excellent way to monitor the health of key assets. In short, the vibration sensor is a device that
measures the amount and frequency of vibration in a given system, machine, and/or
piece of equipment. The accuracy of the sensor is determined by both the
damping coefficient and the natural frequency.
