1.0 DESCRIPTION
The
EXAMINER 1000
is designed to be
used with vibration limits established in
ISO Standard 10816 to help you detect
signs of malfunction or changes in
rotating machinery during operation. This
is accomplished with overall vibration
(ISO VIB) and envelope measurements.
Problems with bearings occur when there
is a microscopic crack or flaw or when there is a breakdown in lubrication
which leads to metal‑to‑metal interaction. The EXAMINER 1000 is designed
to detect flaws or a lack of lubrication in bearings and gears at an early
stage by measuring the high‑frequency impacts through acceleration
envelope methods.
Vibration measurements are made by pressing the accelerometer sensor
against designated Measurement Points on your equipment with either
the stringer probe or with the magnetic base.
