Vibration switch

Vibration Switches is a protection device generally used to alert when equipment is exceeding a predetermined level of vibration. In its simple form a Vibration Switch may comprise a spring loaded trigger mechanism that latches when exposed to excessive vibration. More sophisticated Vibration Switches include circuits, solid state sensors and microprocessors for greater accuracy, increased measurement range and more complex operations

Typical applications for vibration switches include rotating equipment like fans, gear boxes, motors and pumps often found in cooling towers, heat exchangers, crushing equipment and, vibrating screens/feeders.
