The measurement of vibration is the most common method of assessing the mechanical status of machinery for condition monitoring purposes. Although advances have been made in the field of vibration monitoring and analysis equipment, the selection of sensors and the way they are installed on a machine remain critical factors in determining the success of any condition monitoring program Investments made for installing superior sensors are a prudent investment since the information provided about the machine of interest is accurate and reliable. Poor quality sensors and inadequate installation can easily give misleading data or in some cases, cause a critical machine condition to be completely overlooked.
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.
