Vibration Switches

Vibration switches are safety devices used to protect rotating and reciprocating machinery by monitoring vibration levels and triggering alarms or shutdowns when vibrations exceed preset thresholds. These switches are crucial for preventing damage caused by excessive vibration, which can result from imbalances, misalignments, bearing failures, or other mechanical issues. By instantly detecting abnormal vibration levels, vibration switches help to avoid catastrophic failures, reduce unplanned downtime, and minimize repair costs. They are widely used in applications such as pumps, compressors, fans, and motors, providing a simple yet effective solution for basic vibration protection. Vibration switches are easy to install and maintain, making them an accessible and cost-effective component of an overall condition monitoring strategy.
