Accelerometers and Vibration Sensors

The accelerometers These are sensors designed to measure acceleration, vibrations, and dynamic movements of machines, structures, and mechanical systems. accelerometer It converts speed changes into a proportional electrical signal that can be used for machinery monitoring, predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, and industrial process monitoring.

In Guemisa you will find industrial accelerometers For vibration monitoring, machinery diagnostics, and condition control of bearings, motors, pumps, fans, compressors, and structures subjected to dynamic stress. We offer various technologies and configurations to suit every application.

What is an accelerometer?

A accelerometer It is a sensor capable of measuring the acceleration of an object over time. In addition to measuring acceleration, many accelerometers can analyze vibrations, impacts, and mechanical movements, providing essential information for evaluating the condition of a machine or installation.

Accelerometers are widely used in predictive maintenance, vibration analysis, structural testing, rotating machinery monitoring, automotive, aeronautics, research and industrial control.

Types of accelerometers

• Uniaxial accelerometers: They measure acceleration on a single axis.
• Biaxial accelerometers: They allow measuring accelerations on two perpendicular axes.
• Triaxial accelerometers: They simultaneously record the X, Y, and Z axes to obtain a complete representation of the motion.
• Piezoelectric accelerometers: especially suitable for high-frequency vibration analysis.
• Capacitive MEMS accelerometers: compact and suitable for low frequency applications and continuous monitoring.
• Piezoresistive accelerometers: used for static and dynamic accelerations, as well as for impact detection.
