Keep your capital assets from overt quaking with calibrating vibration sensors

Seismic vibration isn't limited to earthquakes. Use products from a seismographic manufacturer to measure ground, building or bridge vibration to detect structural changes caused by vibration from construction, mining activity or large transportation vehicles.

I recommend: Vibra-Metrics produces vibration sensors, power supplies, data delivery systems and accessories; you can select the right product by application or by conditions the sensor will work in. APS Dynamics manufactures force generators attached to a horizontal table. The shakers provide a steady, low frequency vibration to calibrate seismic vibration sensors.

Keep your plant equipment operating smoothly with an electronic vibration sensor

Employ vibration transmitters in your plant operations to monitor machinery. Well-placed vibration transmitters can detect misalignment, imbalance or bearing failure while the machines are running, alerting you to shut down the machine before serious damage occurs. By calibrating the sensors ahead of time, they can sense increasing vibration, giving you time to predict when to perform maintenance instead of either adhering to an arbitrary schedule or waiting for complete shutdown to occur.

I recommend: Wilcoxon Research positions itself as the world's leading manufacturer of vibration sensors and network accessories to accomplish predictive maintenance on the plant floor. Hardy Instruments produces calibration shakers for industrial vibration sensors as well as monitors, transmitters and switches for predictive maintenance chores.

Protect your products from shock in transit with a calibration vibration analyzer

Use an electronic vibration sensor both to test the effectiveness of your products' packaging material and to anticipate the amount of shock your products may experience during transport.

I recommend: PCB Piezotronics specializes in piezoelectric sensing equipment for a variety of industries. The Modal Shop provides a comprehensive lineup of calibration equipment for lab testing.
