Some of the pumps come with only 1 accelerometer and some come with 2 in 90o degree.

can one accelerometer monitor two directions vibration on bearing house?

can it be used to determine Velocity and displacement?

Biaxial accelerometers are not very common, especially with ICP or IEPE power. Tri-axial accelerometers are common, but more limited and expensive than single axis accelerometers. Acceleration output can be integrated to get velocity or displacement. Are you looking at permanent or walk-around accelerometers?
