What is a Vibration Sensor? In this video, we are going to talk about the different types of vibration, the different types of vibration sensors, and how to choose a vibration sensor based on parameters. Vibration can be defined as the mechanical oscillation about an equilibrium position of a machine or component. Or simply the back and forth motion of a machine or component. In machine monitoring we are dealing with two types of vibration; Axial (Thrust) Vibration and Radial Vibration. ▶ Check
