Webinar Details

As machinery monitoring becomes a requirement of a successful predictive maintenance program, reliability engineers are faced with the challenge of selecting the right sensor and placing it correctly at the right location to get relevant data. The decision of which accelerometer to use has to take into account several factors that this presentation addresses. In addition, most reliability engineers are not aware of the variety of sensors now available to achieve their goals. This presentation covers the variety of sensors available and considerations surrounding their selection.

 Learning Takeaways 

• A knowledge of frequency considerations for accelerometer selection
• The information necessary to make the best accelerometer choice when amplitude is a factor.
• Environmental considerations for accelerometer selection.
