Vibration measurement

VIBRATION MEASUREMENT IS COMPLEX BECAUSE OF ITS MANY COMPONENTS


DISPLACEMENT, VELOCITY, ACCELERATION, AND FREQUENCIES. ALSO, EACH OF THESE
COMPONENTS CAN BE MEASURED IN DIFFERENT WAYS PEAK TO PEAK, PEAK, AVERAGE,
RMS; EACH OF WHICH CAN BE MEASURED IN THE TIME DOMAIN OR FREQUENCY DOMAIN
OR JUST A SINGLE NUMBER FOR “TOTAL VIBRATION.”
Impulse and Continuous Vibration Measurement

 continuous and impulse vibration measurements. Continuous vibration measurements are


used for condition monitoring and operational testing. It directly measures what happens
to the object of interest under real operating conditions. An impulse vibration
measurement involves striking the object, often with a “calibrated hammer” that measures
impact force, and then measuring the resulting vibration of the object.
Vibration Measurement Equipment and Vibration Sensor Technology

 Vibration is measured as an acceleration, velocity, or displacement. Each has advantages and disadvantages and each vibration
measurement unit can be converted to the others although with potentially adverse consequences from the conversion.
Acceleration and displacement are the most common methods of vibration measurement.
• Measuring Vibration with
Accelerometers

 An accelerometer is a device that measures the vibration, or


acceleration of motion of a structure. The force caused by
vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the
mass to "squeeze" the piezoelectric material which produces
an electrical charge that is proportional to the force exerted
upon it.
• Measuring Vibration with
Noncontact Displacement
Sensors

 Non-contact linear sensors have an analog output that is


proportional to the damping target distance. Their compact
yet sturdy design makes them well-suited for industrial,
robotics and laboratory use. These sensors utilize inductive
technology, which means they are capable of sensing any
metal target.
• Instantaneous and Total Vibration

 Displacement sensors produce outputs that can be observed in real-time on an


oscilloscope or with a data-acquisition system. This real-time, instantaneous data
provides precise vibration data which can be used to determine a machine’s
performance as a function of time or angular location of a rotating part.
• Displacement Sensor Probe
Mounting

 Displacement sensors are made up of several components,


including the actual sensing device, a transduction
mechanism to convert the measurement signal to an
electrical signal and signal-processing electronics.
• Additional Capacitive
Displacement Sensor
Mounting Considerations

 A non-contact capacitive displacement sensor, a


number of important parameters need to be
considered including the target size and shape,
guarding method and bandwidth. Non-contact
capacitive displacement sensors are not only able
to operate in clean environments, but also in dirty
and dusty industrial areas as well. Modular
designed sensors with threaded bodies are also
available, which further simplifies the mounting
of these sensors in industrial or process
manufacturing environments.
• Multiple Capacitive Probes

 Capacitance probes are designed to tolerate a fair amount of


probe fouling from the presence of material buildup on the
conductive parts, so long as the material does not bridge
conductive plates.
• Environmental Considerations for Capacitive Sensors

 A capacitive sensor provides a high level of precision


(potentially accurate within fractions of a nanometer)
by taking the effects of environmental changes into
consideration and compensating for any and all
changes to the plate area and to the value of the
dielectric constant before determining an accurate
measurement. Such compensation can be achieved
through use of a plurality of environmental sensors to
mathematically calculate the change according to the
variant conditions surrounding the capacitive sensor.
• Additional Eddy-Current Displacement Sensor Mounting Considerations

 Except for non-destructive testing, virtually all


eddy-current sensor applications are
fundamentally a measure of position change of
an object. This application note details the
specifics of making such a measurement and
what is required to make reliable measurements
in micro- and nano-position applications.
• Multiple Eddy-Current Probes

 Eddy current probes generate high frequency magnetic fields to


induce detectable eddy currents in ferrous and nonferrous
materials for flaw detection, weld inspection, and other
nondestructive test applications. The magnitude of the eddy
currents varies with the distance between the probe and sample.
• Environmental Considerations for Eddy-
Current Sensors

 Linear displacement measurements with eddy-current sensors are immune to foreign material in the
measurement area. The great advantage of eddy-current non-contact sensors is that they can be used in
rather hostile environments. All non-conductive materials are invisible to eddy-current sensors.
