Product Introduction
- SW-18010P
The normally open high-sensitivity vibration switch SW-18010P is adopted. When the switch is at rest, it is in an open circuit (OFF) state. When it is touched by an external force and reaches the corresponding vibration force, or when the moving speed reaches an appropriate centrifugal force, the conductive pins will momentarily conduct and present an instant ON state. When the external force disappears, the switch returns to an open circuit (OFF) state. It can be used in various vibration-triggering applications, such as anti-theft alarms, smart cars, electronic building blocks, etc. The sensor is specially equipped with M3 mounting holes for easy adjustment and installation. It uses a wide-voltage LM393 comparator, providing a clean signal with good waveforms and strong driving capability, exceeding 15mA. It is also equipped with a precision potentiometer for adjustable sensitivity.

Usage Instructions
- SW-18010P
- SW-18015P
① Connect the VCC and GND, and the power indicator light of the module will turn on.
② Place the module gently on the table, adjust the blue potentiometer on the board until the switch indicator light on the board lights up. Then slightly adjust the potentiometer to turn off the switch indicator light. Then tap the tabletop to make the vibration sensor feel the vibration. At this time, the switch indicator light will again turn on. When the vibration stops, the switch indicator light will also turn off. This phenomenon indicates that vibration can trigger the module, thereby turn on the switch indicator light.
- SW-420
① Connect the VCC and GND, and the module’s power indicator light will turn on.
② When the power supply is normal, both the two LED lights are on, and the DO pin outputs a low level. When the sensor is tapped, the DO-LED light goes off, and the DO pin outputs a high level.
Note: The vibration sensor has a very high sensitivity. After tapping the sensor once, DO immediately outputs a high level, and then it becomes a low level. Therefore, if you need to continuously output a high level, you need to tap the sensor continuously.
③ Additionally, there is a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer on the sensor. You can use the cross-shaped knob to adjust the sensitivity. If only the PWR-LED light is on after power-on, it indicates that the highest sensitivity has been reached. You need to rotate the adjustment to make both lights on. Sometimes even after continuous tapping of the sensor, the DO-LED does not go out, indicating that the lowest sensitivity has been reached. You need to rotate the adjustment to make the DO-LED go out when tapping.
Application Note
When choosing a vibration sensor for a specific application, several factors must be considered to ensure better performance and reliability.
Here are some key considerations:
- Frequency range: Determine the range of vibration frequencies that need to be monitored. Different sensors have different frequency response capabilities, so select a sensor that matches the frequency range of the application.
- Sensitivity: Consider the sensor’s sensitivity, which determines its ability to detect small changes in vibration amplitude. Sensors with high sensitivity are suitable for detecting low-amplitude vibrations, while those with low sensitivity may be more suitable for high-amplitude vibrations.
- Installation method: Select an installation method that is suitable for the application. Vibration sensors can be installed by adhesive, magnetism, or bolt connection, depending on the installation surface and environmental conditions.
- Environmental conditions: Assess the environmental conditions in which the sensor will operate, including temperature, humidity, and exposure to dust, moisture, or corrosive substances. Choose a sensor with an appropriate protection level (such as an IP67 dust and water resistance rating) to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments.
- Signal output: Consider the type of signal output provided by the sensor (such as voltage, current, frequency, digital). Ensure compatibility with the data acquisition system or monitoring equipment.
- Integration and compatibility: Check the compatibility with the existing monitoring infrastructure, including data acquisition systems, control systems, and software platforms. Select a sensor that can be easily integrated into the system architecture.
- Cost and budget: Evaluate the cost of the sensor and consider budget constraints. Weigh the cost of the sensor against its performance and functionality to ensure better value for investment.
- Calibration and maintenance: Consider the ease of calibration and maintenance of the sensor. Choose a sensor that is easy to calibrate and has fewer maintenance requirements to ensure long-term accurate and reliable operation.
Application
Vibration sensors are widely used in various industries and applications due to their ability to monitor and analyze mechanical vibrations. Here are some common applications:
- Predictive Maintenance: Vibration sensors play a crucial role in predictive maintenance programs, by continuously monitoring the health and performance of machinery and equipment. By detecting changes in vibration levels, these sensors can identify potential faults before they escalate into costly failures, allowing for timely maintenance and repair.
- Condition Monitoring: In manufacturing plants and industrial facilities, vibration sensors are used for condition monitoring of rotating machinery such as motors, pumps, and turbines. By monitoring the vibration levels, these sensors can detect abnormal conditions such as imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear, allowing for early intervention to prevent downtime and production losses.
- Structural Health Monitoring: Vibration sensors are used in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems to assess the integrity and safety of buildings, bridges, dams, and other civil infrastructure. These sensors monitor vibrations caused by environmental factors, traffic loads, and seismic events, providing valuable data for evaluating structural health and identifying potential structural defects or damages.
- Vehicle Health Monitoring: In the automotive and aerospace industries, vibration sensors are used to monitor the health and performance of vehicles and aircraft. They are applied in engine and transmission monitoring systems to detect abnormal vibrations caused by mechanical failures or component wear. Additionally, vibration sensors are also used in flight data recorders (black boxes) to capture and analyze the vibrations of aircraft during flight.
- Earthquake and vibration monitoring: Vibration sensors, such as accelerometers and seismometers, are widely used in earthquake and vibration monitoring networks to detect and record ground vibrations caused by seismic events. These sensors assist seismologists and geologists in studying seismic activities, assessing seismic risks, and developing early warning systems to mitigate the impact of earthquakes on humans and infrastructure.
- Piezoelectric sensor: The piezoelectric sensor utilizes the piezoelectric effect to generate electrical signals under the influence of mechanical stress or vibration. It has extremely high sensitivity and is suitable for detecting high-frequency vibrations. Therefore, it is highly suitable for applications such as structural health monitoring and machine condition monitoring.
