Electro dynamic sensor

Published: 12 March, 2025

One of the key requirements to maintain and optimise the performance of wind turbines is reliable and effective vibration measurement of the slow rotating turbines (typically less than 300 RPM). Condition monitoring specialist Sensonics recognised the need for a sensor to meet these specific requirements which is one of the reasons why it developed its low frequency VEL/GLF velocity vibration sensor which is ideal for wind energy machinery.

This electro dynamic sensor provides a superior performance compared to piezo-electric devices by combining high measurement sensitivity with a frequency response down to 0.1 Hz. This level of sensitivity, along with excellent noise performance, provides the necessary dynamic range required for detailed analysis of gearbox vibration, so is ideal for measuring velocity vibration on equipment with speeds below 300 RPM.
