Guides
- Vibration velocity or acceleration — what should you measure?Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe the same motion, but each of them emphasises a different frequency range. We explain when to measure velocity in mm/s RMS, when acceleration in g and the envelope, and when displacement.
- 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.
