Vibration Sensors
Vibration sensors are devices that detect and measure vibrations in various environments. They are commonly used in industrial applications to monitor machinery and equipment, helping to identify potential issues before they lead to failures. By converting mechanical vibrations into electrical signals, these sensors provide valuable data for maintenance and operational efficiency.
There are several types of vibration sensors, including accelerometers, piezoelectric sensors, and strain gauges. Each type has its own advantages and is suited for different applications. For example, accelerometers are often used in smartphones and vehicles, while piezoelectric sensors are popular in manufacturing settings for monitoring rotating machinery.
