 Bringing light to measurement HBK FiberSensing, S.A.Via José Régio, 256 4485–860 Vilar do Pinheiro Portugal |
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. |
