Vibration
switches are used to guard against destructive levels of vibration by
tripping a limit relay or switch that has a user adjustable limit. They
are used on large motors, pumps, compressors, fans, centrifuges, blowers
and cooling towers.

The
Economical Alternative to Mechanical Switches
Advantages
of Velocity
Damage potential
to your machine is proportional to velocity
Model 550's produce a calibrated signal proportional to vibration
velocity
Mechanical switches trip due to acceleration
10 Times
Better Resolution - More Effective Control
Mechanical
switch amplitude ranges cover 0-5 G's
Trip resolution is 0.1 G @ 1800 RPM, 0.01G @ 600 RPM
1/2 turn on the adjustment screw represents 0.3 G
(3 times less the resolution accuracy needed at 600 RPM and
30 times less the resolution accuracy needed at 1800 RPM).
Model 550's
vibration levels increase in 0.1 inch/second steps
Accuracy is better than 5% of setting
Resolution is at least 10 times better than what is needed.
