Metrix Sensors are a cost effective solution for vibration monitoring applications:

 

Mechanical vibration switches:

• For low to medium speed machinery
• Inertia sensitive mechanism activates a snap action SPDT switch
• Built-in start up delay
• No sensor power required

Electronic vibration switches:

• Programmable to provide protection at all frequencies
• Built-in time delay to reduce false triggering
• Dual solid state outputs (1 x alarm, 1 x shutdown)
• Optional analog output
• External sensor option
• Explosion proof option

Vibration Transmitters:

• Loop powered 4-20mA output proportional to acceleration or velocity
• High and Low pass filters to eliminate unwanted background vibrations
• The output can be connected to PLC's, DCS control systems

Impact Monitoring:

Impact measurement is a proven method of detecting mechanical looseness and knocking on reciprocating machinery.   A mechanical looseness signal often has a high amplitude, but short duration which can be difficult to detect.  The sensor output level is based on a number of events that occur within a time-frame.  The sensor is Loop powered and easy for the user to install.
