Results for tag: "Velocity Sensor"

The Velocity Sensor is a type of vibration sensor used to measure the speed of a vibrating object. It is commonly used in industrial applications such as monitoring the performance of rotating machinery, detecting faults in engines, and measuring the vibration of structures. Velocity sensors are typically used in combination with other vibration sensors, such as accelerometers, to provide a more comprehensive picture of the vibration of an object. Velocity sensors are typically constructed from piezoelectric materials, which generate an electrical signal when subjected to mechanical stress. This signal is then amplified and processed to measure the velocity of the vibrating object. The output of the velocity sensor is usually in the form of a voltage or current signal, which can be used to control other devices or to provide feedback to the user. Velocity sensors are available from a variety of manufacturers, including Honeywell, Meggitt, and PCB Piezotronics. These companies offer a range of products, from low-cost, general-purpose sensors to high-end, specialized sensors for specific applications. Show Less Read more
