Vibration meter for vibration measurement on the machines /
direct evaluation in compliance with DIN ISO 10816 / various measurement modes / real-time FFT analysis / route option for fast acquisition of the measuring points
Rotating components in the machines generally cause machine vibrations which can be transmitted to the entire machine via mechanically coupled components. In this way, a vibration mixture with different frequency components is created. These machine vibrations may have various effects which may be desired (e.g., in conveyors or vibrating screens), though are often unwanted and lead to poor manufacturing qualities and increased wear of the machine. An increased wear because of the machine vibrations leads to the reduced running times, higher failure rates, and higher maintenance costs, so overall, to the avoidable costs.
As negative as the effects of the machine vibrations on the machine itself may be, so much these mechanical vibrations are advantageous during the analysis of the machine damage and its causes. Often the same recurring errors such as imbalances, alignment errors or bearing damage, like a kind of fingerprint, can be determined in the frequency spectrum of a machine vibration and help, after proper evaluation, to find the sources of the errors and eliminate the causes.
