Mechanical Industry Measurement and Control

In the mechanical field, there are various tools for the non-destructive testing of physical properties related to the mechanical structure of products. These instruments are crucial for ensuring the quality, efficiency, and safety of both production processes and end applications.

Among the main measurements are vibrations and accelerations. Vibrations in machines or motors can affect their lifespan, efficiency, and safety. To monitor this, uniaxial vibration meters (which measure along a single axis: X, Y, or Z) and triaxial vibration meters (which measure on all three axes) are used. These tools are commonly used in industries like manufacturing, predictive maintenance, automotive, and aerospace, helping to detect imbalances, component wear, or structural issues.

Pressure measurement is also essential in many mechanical applications, such as in hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and cooling circuits. Pressure gauges are used to monitor the pressure of fluids or gases in machinery and plants. They’re vital in sectors like energy, HVAC, and industrial automation, ensuring systems operate safely and efficiently.

Finally, the speed of movement or rotation of mechanical components is measured with tachometers (either optical or contact). These instruments are essential for checking the performance of motors, pumps, and drives. They’re widely used in industries like metalworking, automation, and industrial maintenance, helping to monitor key parameters for quality control and performance improvement.
