MAGNET MOUNTING TECHNIQUES FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS

EFFECTIVELY COLLECT ROUTE-BASED VIBRATION DATA ON HIGH-SPEED EQUIPMENT

Have you ever wanted an analyst to take high-frequency vibration measurements on a route but hesitated because they only had a magnet-mounted accelerometer? Did you think that the measurements would be accurate because the mounting method wasn't stiff enough?

This instability can damage components in the combustion chamber as well as downstream components such as blades. This causes downtime and loss of production.

Learn how PCB Piezotronics worked with Praxair Inc., a leader in the air separation and purification industry, to create a magnet-mounted sensor kit to be used to collect high-frequency vibration data from high-speed turbocompressors.

These techniques allowed Praxair to institute a company-wide vibration data acquisition and analysis system that monitors machinery health at several hundred Praxair facilities across North America, as well as all locations in South America, Europe and Asia.
