The velocity sensors of Bruel & Kjffir Vibro measure mechanical vibrations in the frequency range 1 Hz to 2,000 Hz. Their high level of reliability has been proven by long-term installations in industry. Velocity sensors are used for the measurement of the • absolute casing vibrations • absolute bearing vibrations in machines. Coordinated solutions The resonant frequencies of the velocity sensors are at 8 Hz or 15 Hz depending upon their different constructional features. Through electronic linearization of the respective frequency range it is possible to also measure vibrations that lie well...
