Vibration measurement: instruments and standards

Vibration measurement: instruments and standards

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.

ModerateAcceptable observe
IncreasedRemedy required
HighDangerous, 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.
