Evaluation of a triaxial operating vibration monitor applied to farm tractor

For the measurement of vibration levels, accelerometers are used. An accelerometer is the instrument that captures the vibratory movement, and transforms it into an electrical signal proportional to acceleration (Soeiro, 2011). Accelerometers are sensors capable of dynamically measuring the intensity and direction of the acceleration of a body, in one or in three axes (Ilha et al., 2005).
