Understanding the role vibration sensors play in proactive maintenance applications is critical to avoiding unplanned downtime. A vibration sensor can reveal if a motor is misaligned to a pump or ...

Every machine has its own way of communicating with its operator. Some send status emails, some illuminate, but most of them vibrate and make noise. If it hums happily, that’s usually a good sign, but ...

At the Hannover fair, SKF launched SKF Enlight, a package that combines a powerful new mobile app with a special Bluetooth-enabled sensor. It allows non-expert staff to gather expert data such as ...

When I was writing up the new high-precision 6-degrees-of-freedom inertial motion unit (IMU) from Epson I came across a useful page on the website about how gyros sensors work. At their simplest, ...

AMS has introduced the laser-based optical Vocalzoom sensor, designed to measure and analyse vibrations, from machine parts for example, at a distance of up to 3m without contact. With the sensor’s ...

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers and vibration sensors represent a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for structural health monitoring, seismic detection, and industrial ...

With more focus on renewable energy, wind power—including the turbines and the technology behind them—continues to receive more attention. Vibration is a critical factor in their performance, and MEMS ...

Having given the free version of the app a quick trial on an exercise bike, the steering works pretty well, but is pretty forgiving. However, using the vibration to determine the speed of the vehicle ...
