Three into one: Triaxial vibration monitoring
In the world of industrial vibration monitoring, precision and efficiency are paramount. Traditional industrial vibration sensors often measure vibration in a single axis, which serves well for straightforward applications like monitoring wear, imbalance, or misalignment in motors, fans, or pumps. However, it can be a challenge when more complex measurements are required in multiple axes.
The conventional approach to address this challenge involves installing multiple accelerometers, one for each axis requiring monitoring. While this method can be effective, it introduces complications. Combining the outputs from each sensor to produce a meaningful assessment of the machine’s condition demands meticulous phase analysis and increases the risk of errors. Furthermore, in situations where space is limited, fitting three separate units may simply be impractical.
At Hansford Sensors, we offer an effective solution: specialized biaxial and triaxial accelerometers designed to simplify complex vibration measurements. Our HS-172 and HS-173 industrial sensors are compact, lightweight, and engineered to simultaneously measure vibration in two or three axes, providing a single integrated output for quick and accurate phase analysis.
Key Features of Hansford Sensors’ Biaxial and Triaxial Accelerometers:
Precision: These devices typically have an operating sensitivity of 100mV/g, ensuring that even the subtlest vibrations are detected and measured with precision.
High Temperature Range: With an operating temperature of up to 150°C, our biaxials and triaxials are built to withstand the harsh industrial environments they can be used in.
Excellent Frequency Response: Hansford Sensors’ accelerometers offer an excellent frequency response, making them suitable for a broad range of industrial applications.
Intrinsically Safe Option: Our HS-173I accelerometers are intrinsically safe, certified for use in hazardous areas, ensuring the safe operation of equipment.
Extensive Cable Options: These accelerometers are now available with a selection of cables including PUR, PTFE and stainless-steel conduit.
While the installation and mounting of these accelerometers require the same level of care as any industrial accelerometer, the benefits they offer are clear. They present an ideal solution for applications demanding multi-axis vibration measurement, streamlining complex monitoring processes and minimizing the risk of errors.
In conclusion, when the task calls for precise multi-axis vibration monitoring, Hansford Sensors’ triaxial accelerometers are the answer. Their compact and robust design make them invaluable tools in ensuring the optimal performance and condition of industrial machinery.
