These vibration switches and monitors minimize production shutdown and time and repair costs by measuring the total accelerated force (shock) present on a machine. Acceleration measurements show the total destructive force acting on a machine. The new cast iron EURO366G Vibraswitch Malfunction Detector (photo) is explosion-proof and weather-tight. This version is more corrosion resistant than the standard aluminum-housing model and is specially designed for high-saline atmospheres. A space heater is also available to keep the interior moisture free. — Robertshaw Industrial Products, an Invensys Controls company, Maryville, Tenn.
