Oil & Gas Vibration Sensors

Protecting Critical Assets in Oil & Gas with Reliable Vibration Monitoring

In the oil and gas industry, equipment reliability is essential to maintaining safe operations, maximising uptime, and reducing the risk of costly failures.

Gas & Oil assets often operate continuously in remote, hazardous, and extreme environments, where unplanned downtime can have significant safety, environmental, and financial consequences.

At Hansford Sensors we provide robust oil & gas vibration sensors and monitoring solutions designed to support predictive maintenance across a wide range of oil & gas operations.

By monitoring vibration levels on critical rotating machinery, operators can detect developing faults early, reduce maintenance risk, and extend the operational life of key equipment.

Key Applications in Oil & Gas Operations

Hansford Sensors’ vibration sensors are widely deployed across oil and gas facilities, both onshore and offshore, monitoring essential equipment such as:

• Pumps – Detecting cavitation, bearing wear, and mechanical looseness in process, transfer, and injection pumps.
• Compressors – Monitoring vibration to identify imbalance, misalignment, and bearing defects in compressors.
• Motors & Drives – Protecting electric motors and drive systems from bearing failure, misalignment, and electrical-related vibration issues.
• Gearboxes – Ensuring drivetrain reliability by identifying gear mesh faults and bearing degradation.
• Fans & Blowers – Monitoring cooling and ventilation systems to maintain safe operating conditions and prevent overheating.

Oil & Gas Vibration Monitoring Solutions

At Hansford Sensors we offer a comprehensive range of oil & gas vibration sensors and monitoring systems designed for hazardous and harsh environments:

• AC Accelerometers (e.g. HS-100 Series) – High-performance vibration sensors providing detailed fault detection across a wide frequency range.
• 4–20mA Vibration Sensors (e.g. HS-420 Series) – Scaled output sensors ideal for continuous monitoring and integration with PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems.
• Intrinsically Safe Sensors – Certified vibration sensors suitable for use in hazardous areas where risk of explosion is present.
• Enclosures & Junction Boxes (HS-JE & HS-SE Series) – Industrial enclosures available in stainless steel and other materials, providing protection and reliable connectivity in aggressive environments.

These oil & gas vibration monitoring solutions support condition-based maintenance strategies that help oil and gas operators improve reliability, reduce unplanned shutdowns, and enhance safety.
