Vibration sensors
With the proper sensor to supply the critical operating information, the machine operates in a safer condition for both the machine as well as the personnel operating the machine. Various machine operating conditions concerning temperature extremes, magnetic fields, vibration range, frequency range, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions and the required signal quality necessitate the need for a variety of sensors.
Measurement of vibration
The measurement of vibration is a complex subject. SKF has optimized its selection of vibration sensors to obtain the best performance, in a variety of industrial applications, from its range of vibration instrumentation systems.
Vibration sensor selection
The range of vibration sensors offered is wide, as a vibration sensor has many different characteristics that may vary, including measurement related factors such as frequency response, sensitivity and accuracy. Physical characteristics such as temperature rating, size and connector orientation are also considerations.
The following is a guide to SKF's experience in sensor use in the most common industrial sectors that employ vibration monitoring. For each industry, the top four features required of a quality vibration sensor are stated and explained. Industrial sensor choices are graded as follows:
Good - A general purpose choice that has adequate measurement and physical characteristics for condition monitoring programmes, where data is trended for change and absolute precision is not so important.
Better - A general purpose choice that has adequate measurement and physical characteristics for condition monitoring programmes, but adds a specific feature such as an extended temperature range or mounting orientation better suited to the application.
Best - A premium choice that has optimum measurement and physical characteristics, but also offers the longest history as evidence of reliability. These are particularly suited to critical machinery applications where the sensor may be used in safety-related functions such as machinery protection.
Below is a list of the most common industrial sectors that employ vibration monitoring. SKF's experience in sensor use can help you select the best vibration sensor for the selected industry.
