Shock pulse measurement
The handheld probe is mainly used to locate the
strongest shock signal on and around the bearing
housing, in order to find the best measuring point or to
verify the shock pulse source after getting a measuring
result which indicates bad bearing condition.
If it is used for regular condition monitoring, the
measuring points for the handheld probe should be
clearly marked. Always measure in the same spot.
The probe tip is spring loaded and moves within a sleeve
of hard rubber. To maintain a steady pressure on the
tip, press the probe tip against the measuring point
until the rubber sleeve is in contact with the surface.
Hold the probe steady to avoid rubbing between probe
tip and surface.
The probe is directionally sensitive. It must be pointed
straight at the bearing.
The centre of the probe tip should touch the surface.
Avoid pressing the probe tip against cavities and fillets
which are smaller than the probe tip.
The only part likely to wear out is the rubber sleeve
for the probe tip. It is made of chloroprene rubber
(neoprene) and tolerates 110° C (230° F). Spare sleeves
have part number 13108.
