Vibration sensors and vibration transmitters

Istec offers a wide range of vibration sensors and transmitters for various applications. With our selection of hardware and services, we provide the best complete solutions for vibration measurements on (critical) rotating machinery.

Proximity Sensors »

These sensors are also referred to as eddy current, displacement, or distance sensors and are used for measuring shaft movement and internal clearance in sliding bearings. For example, the vibrations of a drive shaft in relation to sliding bearings or other supporting components can be measured.

Velocity Sensors »

Velocity sensors are used for vibration monitoring and balancing of rotating machinery. This type of sensor has lower sensitivity to high-frequency vibrations compared to accelerometers and is therefore less prone to overload.

Accelerometers

An accelerometer can be used for both high- and low-frequency vibration measurements. The sensor converts dynamic vibrations into a voltage. These are fully contact sensors, placed directly on the object to be measured, such as a bearing housing or gearbox.
