FAQs For Industrial Accelerometers

Choosing the right accelerometer sensors depends on factors like measurement range, sensitivity, axis configuration, mounting style, output type, and the environment in which they will operate.

Yes, Rieker Inc. can customize accelerometers, vibration sensors, and accelerometer sensors to meet unique requirements such as mounting configurations, temperature ranges, and output formats.

Most industrial accelerometers require minimal maintenance but should be inspected periodically to ensure proper mounting, cable integrity, and clean signal output.

Vibration sensors detect abnormal vibration patterns that indicate wear, imbalance, misalignment, or mechanical failure. Early detection helps prevent downtime and costly repairs.
