A vibration sensor is a device that detects the magnitude and frequency of vibration in a system, machine, or piece of machinery. These metrics can be used to spot asset imbalances or other problems, as well as predict future failures.
Accelerometers are by far the most popular vibration sensors,
measuring variations in the velocity of a particular component. Any vibration
will reflect a change in velocity, causing the accelerometer to produce an
electrical signal when attached to a piece of equipment. After that, the signal
is decoded to produce vibration data.
In 2021, the oil and gas segment held 20% of the market
share, and by 2028, it is expected to grow at a rate of more than 7%. Low
maintenance costs, higher production efficiency, and improved reliability
during extraction and oil processing in refineries are all factors that have
contributed to the company's growth. Vibration sensors are used in the oil and
gas industry to monitor the performance of devices like generators, crane
bearings, heat exchangers, and compressors. To maintain production safety,
several oil extraction businesses are cooperating with tech companies to
integrate innovative asset condition monitoring technologies.
Type, technology, materials, end-user, and geography are the
segments that make up the worldwide vibration
sensor market. The market is divided into velocity transducers,
electrodynamics, accelerometers, and non-contact displacement transducers based
on type.
