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 ...

What is Spike Energy and why is it useful for Bearing Health Monitoring?
Introduction to Spike Energy IRD Mechanalysis have developed “Spike Energy” to detect rolling element bearing condition in its very early stage. “Spike Energy” detects low amplitude transient impacts generated within the ultrasonic frequency range by ...
How to connect a Loop Powered Vibration Sensor
Loop Powered Sensors run on a DC Voltage Supply. They are a 2 wired system on which both supply is given and output is observed. Typically, loop powered sensors such as IRD591 are loop powered by DCS/PLC/SCADA by a 24 V DC supply. The sensor then ...
What is the Principle behind Inductive Type Velocity Output Vibration Sensors?
Inductive Type Velocity Output Vibration Sensors such as IRD544 and IRD544M work on the principle of Electromagnetic Induction. These sensors do not require an external supply voltage to function and are therefore also known as Self Generating type ...
Calibration of Test and Measuring Instruments
It is recommended by ISO that all Test and Measuring Instruments should be checked for Calibration once a year to ensure correctness and confidence in measurement.
