Electronic devices are usually thought of as securely and safely mounted in a protective enclosure or sitting on a table top, yet portable devices require completely different standards to which ...

Vibration calibration and measurement techniques are critical for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of sensors and instrumentation employed in diverse fields such as civil engineering, seismology, ...

Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a common occupational risk for workers using heavy construction machinery such as bulldozers, tractors, and forklifts as well as transportation drivers of buses, trains, ...

Solving insidious vibration problems in rotating equipment may sometimes seem like a black art that requires the right incantation. But identifying the root cause of the vibration is actually a ...

The DT8837 sound and vibration instrument from Data Translation lets you measure four accelerometer inputs with 1000-V channel-to-channel isolation. Each channel has a dedicated 24-bit ADC that can ...

Vibration monitoring and other high-end measurement technologies can solve equipment health challenges that are shaking up the engineering world. Beyond constant change from advances in Industrial ...

Condition monitoring is a challenge for companies with mechanical facilities chockful of motors, generators and gears. But it is needed to give plant managers insights into how the mechanical ...

Digital image correlation (DIC) has emerged as a pivotal non-contact method for capturing full-field structural responses, offering a robust alternative to conventional sensor-based techniques. In the ...

The old adage that “Time is money” is a hard fact of life for many plant operators who must deal with the possibility of equipment breakdowns and loss of productivity as part of their daily routine.

Based on a silicon MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) variable-capacitance sensing element, the Type 8315A high-sensitivity, low-noise, single-axis accelerometers from Kistler North America ...
