What are Dynamic IEPE Vibration & Ultrasound Sensors
Dynamic IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric) vibration and ultrasound sensors are advanced types of sensors that allow for both standard vibration AND ultrasound measurements out of one sensor. These sensors are designed to measure standard vibration faults as well as high-frequency vibrations and ultrasound signals in rotating machinery, such as pumps, motors, turbines, and other rotating equipment.
Standard dynamic IEPE sensors typically operate at a frequency range of 0 to 20 kHz, which is ideal for detailed analysis of gear mesh and standard bearing faults like unbalance and misalignment.
Ultrasound sensors are great for measuring frequencies above 20 kHz. They are ideal for early bearing fault detection and useful for monitoring lubrication.
Combining these technologies into one sensor case creates for the most versatile sensor on the market, which can be used for standard vibration monitoring and early bearing fault detection. These sensors are also designed to be compact and robust, with a high degree of resistance to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and dust. They can be easily used on portable routes or with online monitoring systems.
Overall, dynamic IEPE vibration and ultrasound sensors are an essential tool for maintenance professionals who want to monitor their equipment's condition effectively. By using these sensors, they can identify potential problems before they cause significant damage, helping to minimize downtime and reduce repair costs, ultimately leading to improved equipment performance and longer service life.
