Continuous vibration monitoring system
Geislinger

The unique Geislinger Monitoring System enables optimal operation and reduced maintenance cost of the monitored installation. It continuously monitors torsional vibration amplitudes and gives an alarm signal when safety limits are exceeded. The software installed is perfectly tailored to the requirements of the specific application.
From measurements taken on one or two torsionally vibrating elements (e.g. coupling or damper), the values of the static and dynamic twist between the elements and the vibratory angle of the elements are calculated. If an operating limit is exceeded, an alarm is activated. The calculated torsional vibration values are shown on the LCD display as figures and bar graph or as FFT analyzed values.
To process the calculated values, the system unit is designed to be connected to a PC. The data can be recorded by a terminal program and sent to Geislinger via e-mail. If the analysis of the data shows that the damper/coupling is working properly, it can be justified towards the classification society that no overhaul is necessary. Should an overhaul be necessary, the planning and ordering of spare parts can be done in time.
For signal detection mostly inductive sensors, which are mounted in a fixed position against the rotating gear wheels, are used. If there are no gear wheels, the use of angular encoders is also possible.
