Where to Buy Optical Vibration Sensors

Fiber Bragg grating and micro Fabry–Pérot vibration sensors. From standard sensitivity to dramatically amplified or de-amplified sensitivity, from ultra-small to large industrial vibration sensor packaging, for environments from cryogenic to 800 °C, and with cores based on standard acrylate or polyimide coated fibers, or truly hermetic copper or gold coated fibers (T15, T25, T99, T130, T155, T160, T210-T290, and TFP10).

The FS65 accelerometer is a high precision vibration sensor based on newLight technology tailored to measure acceleration at different frequencies from 0 to 50 Hz.

The accelerometer can be used in a large range of monitoring applications where low frequency, but relevant amplitude vibrations are present, including measuring load induced vibration of civil structures and ambient cable vibrations. The simultaneous measurement of vibration along different axes is possible using multiple accelerometers.

As part of the HBK pantograph monitoring solution for predictive maintenance of pantographs and overhead powerlines, the FS65HDA Heavy duty accelerometer is an optical acceleration sensor fully rated for railway applications. The HBK pantograph monitoring solution is a fully optical measurement solution to be installed on regular operating trains, directly on the pantograph. It is based on load and acceleration optical sensors that are passive and safe for accurate measurements on high-voltage levels. Additionally, make the system hybrid by integrating information from vehicle bus signals and GPS to build a graphical map of the infrastructure and its maintenance plan. By using this system, instead of periodic track interruption for maintenance, the owner can continuously assess the overhead power line condition and, plan for maintenance on demand.
