Velocity Sensors:
Abstract: In the monitoring and analysis of vibrations in industrial machinery and other devices, machine mounted sensors are of critical importance. There are three parameters representing motion that can be detected by vibration monitors, and they include velocity, acceleration and displacement. These parameters are mathematically related and therefore they can be derived from a variety of vibration sensors. Due to this relationship, the choice of sensor, whether acceleration, velocity or displacement is dependent on the signal levels involved and the frequencies of interest. This paper briefly explores and discusses the history, theories, and applications of velocity sensors as well ...
