What are the parameters used in Vibration Sensors?

Critical to condition monitoring and vibration analysis is the machine mounted sensor.

Three parameters representing motion detected by vibration monitors are displacement, velocity, and acceleration. These parameters are mathematically related and can be derived from a variety of motion sensors.

Selection of a sensor proportional to displacement, velocity or acceleration depends on the frequencies of interest and the signal levels involved. Sensor selection and installation is often the determining factor in accurate diagnoses of machinery condition.
