Problem / Challenge
In order to guarantee efficient and safe means of transport, equipment manufacturers are looking for a versatile means of measurement that could enable them to intervene in several aspects for easy and long-term use:
- train safety and maintenance
- comfort analysis, vibration analysis
- monitoring and optimisation of braking systems, bogies, etc.
In particular, they seek to carry out dynamic tests in real-life situations in order to study train behaviour accurately and improve the automation of trains in operation.
Solution PMI
Capacitive accelerometers are ideal for railway applications as they are able to intervene on these different parameters.
The MF series of uniaxial ASC accelerometers** are particularly suitable as they allow operators to make highly accurate measurements on their own. PM Instrumentation offers a wide range of accelerometers, including the 4421 MF or 5521 MF . These are robust sensors with good resistance to shock, harsh environments and high temperatures: **They can be used in temperatures between -40°C and +125°C. Several measuring ranges are offered, from ± 1g to ± 2000g.
