Acceleration Sensors (Accelerometers)
Precision Motion & Vibration Measurement for Testing, Monitoring & Control
Proact IMS offers a versatile range of acceleration sensors (accelerometers) for dynamic motion analysis, vibration monitoring, and impact testing. Designed for high sensitivity and durability, our sensors capture accurate acceleration data across a broad frequency and amplitude range — supporting predictive maintenance, R&D testing, and machine health monitoring.
Our accelerometers are available in uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial configurations with analog or digital outputs, suitable for integration into DAQ systems, PLCs, condition monitoring platforms, and SCADA environments.
