Guides
- How to choose a vibration sensor for your machineChoosing a vibration sensor starts with the question of where the signal will go. Step by step, we cover the output type, measured quantity, sensitivity, frequency range, operating conditions, connection type, mounting and number of axes — with a checklist at the end.
- IEPE accelerometer or 4–20 mA transmitter? A comparisonAn IEPE accelerometer delivers the full vibration signal for analysis, while a 4–20 mA transmitter delivers a single overall value to the PLC. We explain how both types work, how they differ and when a dual-output sensor is worth using.
