Vibration measurement
Measuring points for vibration
Common for all vibration measurement is that the vibration at the measuring point has to be
representative for the overall vibration of the machine. Please study ISO 10816, it shows examples
for various machine types.
As the cause for excessive vibration will usually show up in the spectrum, measuring in the direction
that returns the highest RMS value can be quite sufficient to accurately establish machine condition.
To get comparable results, measuring points should be clearly marked, so that the measurements
can always be taken in the same spots.
Hand-held probe
Transducer with magnet
SPM vibration transducers can be used
• as a hand-held probe, with or without the probe tip attached.
Not recommended above 1000 Hz.
• with a magnet for attachment to ferrous metal
parts. Not
recommended above 2000 Hz.
• with the M8 (UNC 1/4”-28) mounting screw.
The firmer the contact with the machine, the better the measuring
result. Plain, clean metal makes the best contact surface for the
vibration transducer.
When using a hand-held probe it is important to press the
transducer with the same strength every time to get comparable
readings.
DuoTech
®
accelerometers (Dual Technology)
The DuoTech
®
accelerometer is a single transducer solution used
for vibration or shock pulse measurements or both in combination.
• DuoTech with quick connector, TRC100, for use with permanently
installed measuring adapters. Connect the DuoTech via the
measuring cable CAB82.
• DuoTech for permanent installation, SLC144.
Permanently installed DuoTech accelerometers are mounted in a
countersunk mounting holes identical to holes normally used by
shock pulse transducers. The accelerometer has 2-pin connector
and is connected to Leonova or a measuring terminal via twisted
pair cable. DuoTech is connected to the VIB input on Leonova.
Transducer line quality, TLQ
Leonova is automatically testing the quality of signal transmission between transducers of type IEPE
and instrument before measurement. The unit of measure is voltage (Bias). Accepted values depends
on transducer settings. Not acceptable values generates an error message.
DuoTech with quick connector
Typical measuring points are the bearing housings. ISO 10816 states
the required measuring directions.
• Horizontal vibration (H) in the plane of rotation is most
representative of balance condition.
• Vertical vibration (V) in the plane of rotation is most representative
of structural weakness.
• Axial vibration (A) along the line of the shaft is most representative
of faulty alignment and bent shafts.
