Practical FAQs and Insightful Answers
These tools simulate typical signals to test vibration sensors and monitoring systems – without the need for the machine to be running. The SensiChecker generates defined static displacement changes through a mechanical rotary movement with clicks, based on the thread pitch. This allows verification that the sensor, cable, and evaluation electronics show a correct measurement response. The LoopChecker, on the other hand, simulates actual shaft vibrations to test whether the monitoring system correctly triggers alarms and shutdowns. This allows for early detection of wiring errors, incorrect calibrations, or faulty signal evaluations.
Eddy current sensors directly measure the distance between the sensor and the shaft – precisely where vibrations originate. They detect critical parameters such as unbalance, bearing play, or axial shaft displacement. Casing vibration sensors, on the other hand, detect vibrations on the machine casing and can be retrofitted more quickly. While eddy current sensors provide highly precise diagnostic data, casing vibration sensors are particularly suitable for simple trend monitoring and alarming.
A simple sensor provides a raw signal that requires external electronics for processing. A vibration transmitter converts this signal directly into a 4-20 mA signal that can be integrated into any PLC or monitoring system – ideal for systems requiring quick and easy condition monitoring without additional signal analysis. Those who need detailed analyses use raw signals. Those who want straightforward machine monitoring rely on transmitters.
