Application Note "Vibration Measurements on Rotating Machines”
With the m+p Analyzer Rotate software, the acquisition of spectra for an online waterfall display can be triggered based on RPM or time values, and orders can also be acquired and displayed online. The simultaneous acquisition of vibration and tacho signals as time records (throughput recording) additionally allows offline postprocessing analysis with spectral maps and advanced computed order tracking. The software uses intelligent wizards that, step by step, guide through the process of performing a rotating machinery data acquisition and analysis. Waterfall and 2D graphs can be directly copied and pasted into ActiveX compliant applications such as Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.
Machinery Condition Monitoring
The Rotate software includes the functionality required to measure and analyse both fixed and variable speed rotating machines and evaluate balance, bearing condition and performance characteristics for quality control, commissioning checks, wear comparison over time, checks between machine builds or before and after maintenance, etc.
rms, peak and peak-peak measurements of acceleration, velocity and displacement are valuable indicators of machine condition and can all be measured from a single sensor channel. Both short-term measurements over seconds to long-term monitoring over days and weeks are possible. More advanced fault detection and diagnosis can be achieved with the addition of order analysis, spectral 3D maps, orbit analysis, etc.
