Vibration sensors

Vibrations can cause damage to structures. Earthquakes are a well-known example, but there are many other sources of vibration that can lead to cracking or even foundation settlement. These are typically caused by construction activities, installation of retaining walls, and (heavy) transport movements. That’s why vibration monitoring is often essential.

Vibrations can also cause nuisance

What’s less commonly known is that vibrations can also be a nuisance. In a densely populated country like the Netherlands, vibrations can affect people’s comfort or disrupt the functioning of sensitive equipment. Even trains can cause disturbances when bridges open or close.

In the Netherlands, we use SBR guidelines to determine whether vibrations are harmful, cause nuisance or pose a risk to equipment:

  • SBR-A: Damage to buildings
  • SBR-B: Nuisance to people
  • SBR-C: Interference with equipment

To help you assess these vibrations, we supply our Axilog III systems. These efficient devices are used to measure vibrations in construction environments, with the help of built-in geophones.

Key features of the Axilog III

  • Continuous and online measurement of vibrations in 3 axes
  • Real-time monitoring and verification according to SBR guidelines
  • Operates up to 30 days on a single battery pack
  • Digital signal processing
  • Easy setup with pre-configured horizontal orientation
  • Built-in GPS sensor
  • Optional FFT analysis for advanced evaluation
  • Automatic email reporting
  • 4G communication
  • Axilog Manager software for internal device management

Included in delivery

  • Combined sensor and logger
  • Power supply for fixed power use
  • Mounting bracket
  • Ground plate for nuisance measurements
  • 4G modem
  • Axilog Manager software

Software

The included software complies with 21CFR11 standards. This ensures that your data cannot be modified without traceability. Key software functions include:

  • Axilog configuration
  • Data retrieval
  • Data presentation (historical and real-time)
  • Archiving
  • Audit trails and digital logbooks
  • Real-time data display
  • Optional desktop software for managing large Axilog fleets
  • Optional offline use with modem
