Velocity Sensors for Noise and Vibration Monitoring

Velocity sensors play a crucial role in monitoring and diagnosing mechanical vibrations across a wide range of industries. By converting motion into measurable electrical signals, these sensors provide critical insight into equipment health, structural integrity, and operational safety.

Unlike displacement or acceleration sensors, velocity sensors are tuned specifically for mid-range frequencies, making them highly suitable for detecting fatigue, imbalance, misalignment, and bearing faults. Noise Vibration Monitoring, a leading B2B provider based in North America, offers industry-grade velocity sensing technologies designed for demanding industrial environments. Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, we have rapidly gained recognition for delivering scalable and high-reliability solutions.

Through deep technical expertise, collaborative engineering, and high-precision tools, we help clients in manufacturing, transportation, energy, and infrastructure sectors gain real-time vibration intelligence for predictive maintenance and performance optimization

Case Studies

U.S.: Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring

A renewable energy company in Texas deployed velocity sensors across 120 wind turbines to detect vibration anomalies caused by shaft misalignment. By integrating our sensors with a cloud-based monitoring system, they reduced unplanned maintenance by 40% and extended component life by over 18 months.

U.S.: Transit System Equipment Upgrade

A municipal subway system in Illinois integrated velocity sensor solutions into their escalator and conveyor systems to detect excessive wear and vibration. Post-deployment, service interruptions were cut by 60%, and overall maintenance costs fell significantly.

Canada: Pulp & Paper Mill Motor Monitoring

A Canadian pulp and paper mill in British Columbia installed our velocity sensors on 80+ motors throughout their facility. Real-time diagnostics help detect early-stage bearing faults, cutting down on emergency repairs and saving approximately $250K annually in downtime.
