Understanding the Difference Between Compression and Shear Industrial Accelerometers
At Hansford Sensors, we are proud to be one of the few manufacturers offering both compression and shear industrial accelerometers, catering to your specific application needs. In this blog post, we will explore the differences between these two types and help you understand where each is best suited.
Compression Accelerometers
Our compression accelerometers are designed for high-impact applications. Inside a compression accelerometer, you will find several elements with a retaining screw placed at the center of the sensor. These accelerometers are particularly useful for measuring high-frequency vibrations in equipment such as pumps, compressors, and turbines. Hansford Sensors’ range of compression accelerometers, including the HS-100 series, offers reliable and accurate measurements for a variety of applications.
Shear Accelerometers
Our shear accelerometers, on the other hand, are designed for low-impact applications. Built with an adhesive holding the elements together, they are commonly used to measure lower frequency vibrations in equipment such as motors and fans. Hansford Sensors’ range of shear accelerometers, which includes the HS-150 series, compact HS-170 series, and triaxial HS-173 series, are specifically designed to deliver optimum performance in these applications.
Conclusion:
We understand that different applications have distinct requirements, which is why we are delighted to offer you the power of choice with our exclusive range of accelerometers. You no longer need to compromise on accuracy or performance. Whether you need compression or shear accelerometers, you can trust Hansford Sensors to provide the perfect solution tailored to your unique needs.
Our shear accelerometers are available at the same unbeatable price as our compression accelerometers. This means you can have the best of both worlds without stretching your budget. Our commitment to delivering quality products at competitive prices is unwavering.
Compression and shear accelerometers are valuable tools for monitoring and analyzing vibration in industrial machinery. Understanding their differences and knowing their respective strengths can help you make an informed decision when selecting the most suitable accelerometer for your application.
