Having trouble seeing any vibration energy in very low frequency bands for slowly rotating equipment?

Check out this comparison between a traditional CDL and the small screw-mountable MEMS based accelerometer shown.

The MEMS device specifies 3dB frequency response from 0.12 Hz to 12 kHz, an IEPE interface and can be configured at the factory as a single axis or triaxial sensing orientation.

KDM-321 was designed by my friend Dr. George Zusman and is produced by Vicont Inc. in Houston, TX (email vvv@vicontinc.com)
