Vibration Transducers
Accelerometers
 |
  Accelerometers are the most commonly used vibration tranducers in terms of condition monitoring of critical rotating plant. Their low cost and low maintenance make them ideal for use with either portable data collectors/analysers or as part of online machine protection systems. Sensonics offers a large range of industrial accelerometers for all types of applications from general purpose high volume to specialist accelerometers designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. |

Eddy Current Proximity Probes
 |
Senonics robust range of eddy current proximity probes for non-contact vibration and displacement monitoring are designed to comply with the API 670 standard enabling compatibility with other manufacturers equipment. The core applications for this transducer is monitoring shaft expansion, relative vibration and speed on a range of rotating machinery from turbines to pumps and compressors. Sensonics proximity probes are available in either straight or disc mounting configurations and can be supplied with a range of adjustable bracketry. Highly reliable and available in intrinsically safe (ATEX) variants, a summary of these vibration and displacement monitoring sensors is detailed below. |

Velocity Transducers
 |
Sensonics offer a range of both piezo electric and moving coil velocity transducers (Velometer®) for applications requiring a vibration velocity signal direct from the sensor. These transducers are particularly suitable for applications requiring high sensitivity or for use in high electrical noise environments where integration of an accelerometer signal in the vibration monitor is not preferred due to unwanted signals induced on interconnecting cables. The moving coil type of velocity transducer is sometimes preferred for steam turbine bearing measurement applications where steam noise can saturate the output of piezoelectric accelerometers.
