Vibration is an important indicator of engine condition. Its regular measurement allows you to notice the problem long before a breakdown. Let's look at how vibration measurement is carried out and what standards are used.
What is measured
- Vibrometer - a basic device for assessing the overall level of vibration.
- Vibration analyzer - builds a vibration spectrum, determining the source (imbalance, bearing, misalignment).
Points and parameters measurement
Vibration is measured on bearing supports in three directions. Vibration velocity (mm/s) is the main standardized parameter.
| Vibration level | Rating |
|---|---|
| Low | Good condition |
| Moderate | Acceptable observe |
| Increased | Remedy required |
| High | Dangerous, urgent repair |
Vibration standards depend on the power and type of engine installation and are regulated by GOST/ISO standards.
What does excess mean?
Increased vibration indicates for imbalance, bearing wear, misalignment or loosening. Spectral analysis during vibration diagnostics accurately identifies the source. Elimination - balancing, bearing replacement or alignment.
Regular vibration monitoring is the basis of predictive maintenance: it prevents accidents and expensive repairs.
