Vibration Sensor
Detects mechanical imbalance, wear, and failure in rotating industrial equipment.
What Does a Vibration Sensor Measure?
A vibration sensor measures mechanical oscillations produced by rotating or moving equipment such as motors, pumps, gearboxes, compressors, and fans.
Signal Output
- 4–20 mA (industrial analog)
- 0–10 V
- Digital (RS485 / Modbus)
- Derived values: Acceleration (g), Velocity (mm/s), Displacement (µm)
What Does the Signal Mean?
| Signal Pattern | Industrial Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sudden spike | Mechanical shock or loosened component |
| Gradual increase | Bearing wear or imbalance developing |
| High-frequency noise | Early bearing pitting |
