The integrity of your Predictive Maintenance program hinges on one critical decision: Selecting the Right Hansford Sensors for Vibration Monitoring


How to select the right Vibration Sensor.

A machine's vibration is its language, and the sensor is your interpreter. Before deployment, our experts recommend asking these four fundamental questions:

✅ Frequency Range: What is the critical frequency range you need to monitor for potential faults?

✅ Temperature: What is the expected minimum and maximum operating temperature of the asset?

✅ Output Type: Do you require an AC signal for detailed analysis or a simpler 4-20mA output for PLC/DCS integration?

✅ Environment: Is the operating environment hazardous (e.g., ATEX/IECEx zones) or highly corrosive?


Choosing the right fit ensures you detect issues early, plan maintenance effectively, and extend asset life.

🔧 Best Practice: Key Tips for Installing Vibration Sensors in Your Predictive Maintenance Program🌟


Installing vibration sensors is crucial for a successful predictive maintenance program, but getting it right can make all the difference in your machine health monitoring. Here are some expert tips to ensure you’re on the right track:


1️⃣ Choose the Right Location:

Place sensors at key points where issues are most likely to occur, such as bearings, gearboxes, and motors.

Ensure the sensor is mounted on a solid, stable surface to avoid false readings.


2️⃣ Proper Mounting Techniques:

Use a strong adhesive or mounting stud to secure the sensor firmly.


3️⃣ Cable Management:

Keep cables away from high-heat areas and moving parts to prevent damage.


If necessary, use protective sleeves or conduit to protect cables.

4️⃣ Calibrate Regularly:

Regular calibration ensures the sensors are providing accurate and reliable data.

Set up a maintenance schedule for sensor calibration to avoid drifting over time.


5️⃣ Integrate with Your System:

Ensure your sensors are compatible with your existing predictive maintenance software for seamless data collection and analysis.

Set up real-time monitoring and alerts to catch potential issues early.


By following these best practices, you’ll maximize the effectiveness of your vibration sensors and keep your machinery running smoothly.
