piezo accelerometer vibration measurement

Kingmach's piezo accelerometers convert mechanical vibration into electrical signals for condition monitoring, structural analysis, and test labs. They use piezoceramic crystals in shear or compression configurations. Shear designs offer better thermal stability and lower base strain sensitivity, making them suited for industrial settings where temperature fluctuates. Our housing options include sealed stainless steel for washdown areas and lightweight titanium for aerospace testing. Mounting options: stud, magnetic, or adhesive. Frequency response typically spans from 0.5 Hz to over 10 kHz, covering most machinery's fault frequencies. For low-frequency applications like tilting bridges or wind turbines, we offer high-sensitivity units with low-noise electronics. These capture subtle movements that other sensors might miss. However, for high g-level impacts, rugged designs with mechanical filtering protect the crystal. We also provide accessories like mounting bases, cables, and signal conditioners to ensure a complete measurement chain. Unlike some suppliers, we don't box you into a standard package. You can specify connector types, integral or remote electronics, and even special calibration at specific frequencies. After delivery, our technical team can assist with installation guidance and troubleshooting. For large-scale projects, we maintain stock in key regions to shorten lead times. And if a standard unit doesn't fit, we can modify the design—whether it's a custom thread or a special temperature range. This flexibility comes from our experience in geotechnical and structural monitoring, where each site presents unique challenges. In vibration measurement, getting the right sensor early means less data uncertainty later. That's the goal.
