Vibration Sensors And Accelerometers

摘要

Monitran, a world leader in the development and manufacture of sensors for the measurement of vibration and displacement, has devised a new stud option for mounting its vibration sensors and accelerometers.rnAdding to the company's current mounting solutions - which include QuickFit, magnetic and traditional screw type - the new option sees the sensor bonding to the stud via a grub screw (through the body of the sensor). This option is ideally suited to applications where the vibration sensor has an integral cable, as opposed to connector, and is not necessarily a permanent fixture. For example, the sensor might be taken from machine to machine as part of a regular vibration-based condition monitoring routine.rnCompared to traditional screw-type studs, the new mounting option also overcomes the risk of compromising the stud's contact with the machine to which it is fixed. Specifically, when using a spanner to tighten a sensor to a stud it is possible to sheer the stud-machine screw. It is similarly possible to damage the machine-stud bond in the case of adhesive studs.
