For power plant operators, avoiding outages and providing constant power supply are daily priorities.

To keep plants operational, machines must be reliable. Vibration monitoring sensors are used by plant maintenance teams to provide advanced warning of component wear on power plant assets.

Reliability engineers depend on vibration analysis/diagnostics to establish baseline, trend and early warning/detection of machine faults, plan for machine repairs, and optimize maintenance outages.

Blowers, compressors, and cooling towers
Fans, including forced draft and induced draft systems
Hydro turbines and other low-frequency machinery
Motors, pumps, and nuclear plant equipment

Designed for Demanding Power Plant Environments

Our vibration sensors include built-in safeguards to provide reliable, long-term performance in challenging power plant conditions. Key features include:

  • EMI/RFI-shielded housings for high-interference environments

  • Case-isolated construction

  • Capable of detecting both low- and high-speed vibrations

  • Extended low-end frequency response for hydro turbines

  • Superior broadband frequency response

  • Hermetically sealed construction
