100 mv/g accelerometer

Predictive Maintenance

The processes of predictive maintenance are essential in the continued maintenance of an industrial structure, to ensure that they are safe to live, work and be within. The processes of predictive maintenance involve the process of vibrations monitoring, in which vibrations are utilised to assuage the integrity of said building being tested.

Some specialist pieces of technology are required through which to carry out these processes. These items of technology are those of the transmitter and the 100 mv/g accelerometer.

Accelerometer

The accelerometer is a specialist piece of equipment that is utilised primarily and purposefully in the emitting of vibrations around and throughout a structure. This is a means of assuaging the structural integrity of the property or structure into which the equipment is placed.

There are a number of different variants of the accelerometer unit and each of these possess different capabilities. These different capabilities inform as to the structure into which the unit should be placed. 

Mv/g

The mv/g amount of the unit is representative of the output voltage of the accelerometer. Mv/g is representative of the number of millivolts, divided by the gravity (or g-unit) of the area being assessed. A g-unit is comprised of 9.806,65 meters per square second.

This 100 mv/g accelerometer emits 100 millivolts per g-unit. This ensures that it is a high output accelerometer used to measure low level vibrations.

Transmitter

The 100 mv/g accelerometer is utilised in conjunction with a transmitter. The transmitter serves to transmit the vibrations information to those analysing or disseminating it.

The transmitter utilises a simplistic, two wire system. All vibrations information is input and output through these wires concurrently. If any errors occur within this system, it is easy to identify and to rectify.
