Instrumentation solutions that encounter mechanical vibration

  　　A large number of studies have shown that vibration is the main cause of shock-proof pressure gauge failures in manufacturing facilities. Vibration negatively affects meter accuracy in two ways. First, when the shock-proof pressure gauge vibrates, it is difficult to read the pointer on the shock-proof pressure gauge. Secondly, the gradual damage to the pointer mechanism by vibration will eventually cause the pointer to deviate from zero, resulting in inaccurate readings.

  　　Clear signs of mechanical vibration

  　　Worn pinions and sector gears cause metal shavings/dust in the instrument window, such as a halo

  　　If the vibration is severe, separate the pointer

  　　Risks from mechanical vibration

  　　Wear of internal components

  　　Loss of accuracy/function

  　　Pressure system failure

  　　Instrumentation solutions that encounter mechanical vibration

  　　In most cases, liquid-filled housing is the most convenient and cost-effective way to protect the shock-proof pressure gauge from vibration. The glycerin or silicone oil case filling acts as a damper to slow down movement. It can also lubricate pinions and sector gears, thereby reducing wear and extending the life of the instrument.

  　　the silicone-filled pressure gauge is also our product, welcome to consult and purchase.
