Vibration sensor Manufacturers | Vibration sensor vendors
This page covers Vibration sensor basics with features of Vibration sensor. It mentions Vibration sensor manufacturers or Vibration sensor vendors.
What is Vibration sensor:
• Vibration sensors are sensors used to measure, display and analyze frequency, displacement, velocity
or acceleration. Vibration sensors respond to repetitive mechanical motion.
• Its contacts are normally open and close when it is subjected to vibration in its designed frequency range.
• Mechanical sensors or switches which respond to displacement are best suited
for low frequency vibrations.
Piezoelectric sensors are sensitive to acceleration and hence are best suited for
high frequency vibrations.
• Accelerometers measure acceleration to determine vibration.
Proximity sensors are non-contacting sensors which measure distance from a target.
It is used in rotating machinery to measure the vibration of the shaft.
• It is used in various applications to prevent further damage in the event of vibrations.
It is also used as shock sensors.
• There are various types of vibration sensors viz. pin and spring type, piezoelectric type,
piezoresistive type, chip based piezoelectric, mousetrap, magnetic, mercury, accelerometer, velocity, proximity etc.

advantages and disadvantages of vibration sensor >> for more information.
