Press Release: Vitrek Demonstrates MTI Vibration Signal Generator for Validating Predictive Maintenance Systems at MRO America
Vitrek Demonstrates MTI Vibration Signal Generator for Validating Predictive Maintenance Systems at MRO America Lockport, IL — April 5, 2025 — As predictive maintenance transforms industrial operations, engineers face a critical challenge: verifying that vibration monitoring systems detect faults accurately before real failures occur. At MRO America Booth 3456, MTI Instruments, a Vitrek company, will demonstrate how its 1510A Vibration Signal Generator enables safe, controlled validation of monitoring and protection systems. Predictive maintenance depends on vibration analysis to identify issues such as imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear. However, confirming system accuracy without inducing real faults or risking equipment [...]

Piezoelectric Signal Conditioning with MTI Charge Amplifiers: From Portable 55CA/41CA to Rack-Mount CA1800 Solutions
Piezoelectric sensors deliver critical data for turbine balancing, structural health monitoring, and vibration analysis, only when paired with proper signal conditioning. Extracting clean, phase-accurate signals in environments with electromagnetic interference, temperature shifts, and cable effects remains a persistent challenge. Signal conditioning bridges the gap between the sensor and the measurement system. MTI Instruments offers a comprehensive portfolio of charge amplifiers designed to address the challenges of piezoelectric signal conditioning challenges across diverse applications. From the portable 55CA and 41CA units engineered for field turbine balancing to the multi-channel CA1800 rack-mount system for laboratory testing, MTI's line-up provides scalable solutions for [...]
Accelerometer Signal Conditioning: From Charge to Voltage Conversion Explained
A piezoelectric accelerometer generates a tiny electrical charge when it vibrates. That charge, measured in picocoulombs, contains valuable information about machinery health, structural integrity, or performance characteristics. But here’s the problem: you can’t measure it reliably without proper signal conditioning. One of the fundamental challenges lies in the nature of the signal itself: high-impedance charge outputs generated by piezoelectric sensors versus the low-impedance voltage signals required by data acquisition systems and analyzers. Without proper signal conditioning, even the most accurate accelerometer can produce distorted, noisy, or unstable results. This creates a challenge for engineers working with vibration measurement systems. In [...]
