How to Reduce Downtime Caused by Machine Vibrations

How to Reduce Downtime Caused by Machine Vibrations

Unexpected downtime is one of the most costly problems in industry. A large part of it is linked to vibrations: imbalance in rotating parts, misalignment of shafts, bearing degradation, or resonance in structures. Each of these phenomena generates vibration signatures...

What Is the Vibration Range of a sensor(g)?

In vibration analysis, the symbol g refers to the acceleration due to gravity, equal to 9.81 m/s². Expressing vibration levels in g makes it easier to compare and quantify oscillations in machines or structures. The vibration range defines the interval of acceleration...

What is an inclinometer ?

An inclinometer, sometimes called a tilt sensor, is a device that measures the angle of slope or inclination relative to gravity. It is used when engineers, builders or technicians need to know how much a structure, surface or machine is tilting. Modern inclinometers...
