Accelerometers
Accelerometers measure acceleration, vibration, and shock. These compact sensors detect subtle or abrupt changes in motion and vibration, converting mechanical movement into measurable electrical signals for detailed analysis and monitoring.
They provide critical insight into machinery and system health by identifying abnormal vibrations, imbalance, misalignment, and mechanical stress. By continuously tracking real-time operational performance, accelerometers help operators and maintenance teams diagnose potential issues before they escalate into significant equipment failures or safety incidents, thus improving reliability, reducing downtime, and optimizing asset life.
Accelerometers are used extensively in manufacturing, oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, automotive, aerospace, mining, and pharmaceutical sectors. In these fields, they play a vital role in monitoring pumps, motors, compressors, turbines, conveyors, gearboxes, and rotating equipment, enabling proactive predictive maintenance strategies to enhance safety, productivity, and operational efficiency.
Applications involve condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, structural health evaluation, and quality assurance processes. Accelerometers enable precise control and informed decision-making, delivering substantial operational and economic benefits.
