Vibration sensor is a type of sensor that senses, measures and analyzes the mechanical oscillations and vibration in a system. They find use in predictive maintenance of equipment in an application. Key parameters like vibration, pressure, temperature are monitored and are compared with historical data to ensure maximum uptime of the plant or machinery which results in lower maintenance costs.
Types of sensors used in a vibration sensor:
- Accelerometers
- Speed Sensors
- Proximity Sensors
- Strain Gauges
- Fiber Optic Sensors
