Two Minute Tips
Condition Monitoring Applications for Velocity Sensors
Velocity is used as a vibration measurement for most condition monitoring applications because velocity is the best overall indication of machinery health for both low-speed and intermediate-speed components.

What is Vibration Analysis?
Any time a piece of machinery is running, it is vibrating.
Industrial vibration analysis refers to a process for measuring the vibration levels and frequencies of machinery and then using this information to assess the “health/condition” of the machine and its components.

Why MEMS Accelerometers Are Becoming the Designer’s Best Choice for CbM Applications
A small number of semiconductor manufacturers have overcome the noise, bandwidth and g-Range shortcomings commonly associated with MEMS sensors used in Condition-based Monitoring (CbM) by producing several medium and high-performance MEMS vibration sensors with the latter being comparable to piezo accelerometers.
