In high-speed assets, failure doesnโ€™t just happen - it escalates. Fast.

When machinery is operating at high RPM, even small issues like imbalance or misalignment can quickly spiral into catastrophic downtime and production loss. The question is: is your monitoring keeping up?

๐Ÿ”น The challenge
A large industrial facility was experiencing repeated unplanned downtime caused by sudden failures in high-speed forced-draft fans.

๐Ÿ”น The solution
HS-150 accelerometers were installed, providing a high-frequency response capable of detecting early-stage bearing and running condition changes.

๐Ÿ”น The result
Within just two months, maintenance teams identified a rise in 1x and 2x running speed components โ€” a clear indicator of developing misalignment.

Corrective action was taken before failure occurred, preventing major repair costs and avoiding significant production loss.

The takeaway -
Continuous monitoring of high-speed assets isnโ€™t optional - itโ€™s essential for protecting uptime and profitability.

As Hansford Sensors celebrates 20 years in 2026, weโ€™ve been reflecting on the journey, the milestones and the people who have helped shape the business along the way.

To mark the occasion, we sat down with our Founder and Managing Director, Chris Hansford, to talk about where his passion for engineering began, the proudest moments from the last two decades, and his thoughts on the future of vibration monitoring and international business growth.

From building go-karts as a child to leading an internationally recognised engineering company and receiving The Kingโ€™s Award for Enterprise, Chris shares the experiences, advice and values that have guided the Hansford Sensors journey.

Probably goes back to my father who was an engineer, I can remember as a kid he would always encourage me with anything mechanical. I remember having a little go cart with a pull string and I would go around and try and find a pram wheel to be able to put on it, and wanting to put an engine on the go-kart. We went to a jumble sale and bought a lawn mower engine for ยฃ3 ! I went on to do engineering at school and then at college.

What a difficult question to pick one proud moment in the 20 years since starting Hansford Sensors. It has to be developing a team that's enabled us to achieve what we have so far and to win The Kingโ€™s Award for Enterprise for International Trade and visiting Windsor Castle to receive the award.

The HS-420 4-20mA velocity output accelerometer โ€“ itโ€™s bullet proof! It's a cost-effective solution, is an incredibly reliable product to make and we sell over 50,000 every year.

Itโ€™s still a bit of a black art โ€“ itโ€™s not like monitoring temperature where itโ€™s black or whiteโ€ฆ if it says its 50 degrees, itโ€™s 50 degrees. Vibration monitoring needs a lot of analysis of the output involved to understand what the solution could be.

Be prepared that if you want to be successful, you have to be international. The UK has changed over the years and is not the strong industrial nation it was 30 plus years ago. You have to be prepared to invest in the world because success wonโ€™t come just from the being in the UK.

Boating because itโ€™s so relaxing and very therapeutic and so far removed from my day-to-day. I like to talk to people and help people, so sometimes if you get someone that's in another boat that doesn't really know what to do, I'll be the first to get on board and help them!
