Expert guidance on sensors, cables and signal conditioning

Selecting the right accelerometer, cable, and signal conditioning is crucial for obtaining accurate and reliable vibration data. A common mistake in testing is assuming your software will detect errors—but it won’t. Your system will process whatever signal it receives, whether accurate or not.

Did you know? 

Using the wrong accelerometer, cable, or mounting method—or neglecting regular calibration—can introduce up to 35% error in your data.

Even though sensors are often the smallest part of your setup, they are the most critical. A high-quality sensor ensures high-quality results.
