Vibration sensors are piezoelectric accelerometers that sense vibration. They are used for measuring fluctuating accelerations or speeds or for normal vibration measurement. Maintenance professionals use the sensors in order to predict the maintenance of the machinery, to reduce overall costs and increase the performance of the machinery.
Examples of applications where the vibration sensors are used: process control systems, aerial navigation and underwater-applications. Frequency range from 0.2 up to 2500 Hz. The operating temperature of these sensors is between -50°C and +85°C.
