IMI Sensors brochure update: "Vibration Switches"

24/7 Protection of Cooling Towers, Fin Fans and other Critical Machinery

April 28 , 2011, Depew, NY - IMI Sensors, a division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. has updated its "Vibration Switches" brochure. The updated brochure highlights mechanical switches, electronic switches and the patented Smart Switches specifically designed for protection of cooling towers, fin fans, HVAC systems, blowers, motors and other critical machinery.

The Vibration Switches brochure can be downloaded on the IMI Sensors website at: http://www.imi-sensors.com/ContentImages/downloads/IMI-SWITCHES_LowRes.pdf.

The IMI Sensors brochure features the entire range of vibration switches from mechanical to electronic switches and the recently launched Smart Vibration Switch. The industry exclusive Smart Vibration Switch offers higher accuracy and reliability than a mechanical switch for a very attractive price. In addition, the switch is fully user programmable via USB connection and operates with only two wires as a smart upgrade of your existing mechanical switch. Our mechanical vibration switches are typically used for less critical situations and are available in weatherproof and explosion proof versions. Electronic vibration switches are highly accurate and boast a wide variety of features. Electronic versions can have a built-in display, two set points with individual alarms and deliver 4-20 mA and 100 mV/g output signals.

IMI Sensors specializes in the design and manufacture of innovative sensors and associated signal conditioning instrumentation to meet the demanding requirements of process monitoring and protection tasks. Vibration monitoring of plant and process machinery can provide crucial data that will lead to increased productivity and profitability. When vibration levels are monitored, excessive wear and potential failure can be recognized early.

In addition to vibration switches, IMI's line of 4-20 mA vibration transmitters will interface directly with your PLC, DCS or SCADA control system so data can be easily trended. Scaled in inches per second velocity, in g's of acceleration or mils of displacement, these sensors provide 24/7 online protection for key machinery, reducing downtime
