Why Vibration?
• We can understand the machine

• We can find the weakness
• Thereby we can predict, plan, maintain and
improve
• Improve availability and reduce costs

What are the different ways?
• Overall
• Time domain
• Frequency domain
• Envelope analysis
• Cepstrum analysis
• Wavelet analysis
• Etc

What Is Vibration?
It is the response of a
system to an internal or
external force which causes
the system to oscillate.

2. Measurement direction - Horizontal,
Vertical, Axial.

General rule of direction
• We measure H direction for machines on the
foundation.
• We measure V direction for machines on
structures
• We measure A direction when we suspect
misalignment
• There are advantages, but there are
exceptions to this rule.

Modes of Amplitudes
• DISPLACEMENT
• VELOCITY
• ACCELERATION
• SPIKE ENERGY
Physical Significance Of Vibration
Amplitude
Displacement : Strain Indicator
Velocity : Fatigue Indicator
Acceleration : Force Indicator

The significance
• Displacement gives the strain energy
• Velocity gives the kinetic energy
• Acceleration gives the force
• Spike energy/HFD/gE are special ways to
measure acceleration only.

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
DISPLACEMENT - MICRONS
VELOCITY - MM / SEC.
ACCELERATION - MM / SEC2 , G

VIBRATION MEASURING
INSTRUMENTS
– Analyser : Measures all the three characteristics viz.
Amplitude, Freq. and Phase
– Meter : Measures only Amplitude
Thus we can have METERS of various types

Displ. And Velocity- Normally uses velocity pickup
Displ., Velocity, Acceleration and Bearing Condition-
Normally uses Accelerometer
The heart of the instrument is the sensor

Vibration Sensors
• Acceleration Sensor - Accelerometer

• Velocity sensor – Velocity sensor or
seismic sensor
• Displacement sensor - Non Contact pickup
Accelerometer

Accelerometer
• Piezoelectricity
• Emf proportional
to force
• Emf proportional
to acceleration
(Mass constant)
• Hence called
accelerometer
Accelerometer

Accelerometer cont…..
• Uses piezoelectric crystal
• Normally uses internal amplifier for boosting signal
• It will have low temp application up to 150 degree C
• For high temperature application amplifier is not given inside
• This causes low signal strength and we use gold plated contacts
and small cable lengths (output rated in pc per g). The
amplification is done outside
• Normal accelerometer (amplifier inside) will have strong signal
output and can sustain cable lengths of 300 meter
• Available in several design, can go from DC to 10k Hz freq
(600,000 CPM)
• Can measure Acceleration, velocity and displacement
• It is advised to involve suppliers or persons knowledgeable in
this area to choose accelerometers for on line monitoring
applications

Velocity sensor
Output=B*l*V B & l are constant
Output is proportional to velocity, hence the name Velocity sensor
Spring
Magnet
Terminals Damper
Coil
Magnet
Aluminum case

Velocity sensor cont….
• This is self generating (764 mv per mm/sec)
• Can sustain cable length of 1000 feet easily
• For longer length intermediate amplification is needed
• The temperature rating is higher up to 250 degree C (no
electronics inside)
• Sensitive to 60,000 CPM
• Can check velocity and displacement only

Non contact type

ABSOLUTE BEARING VIBRATION
VELOCITY TRANSDUCER
SEISMIC MASS TYPE
Works on PLUNGER COIL PRINCIPLE.
Two permanent magnets rigidly fixed to the casing
with coils arranged as seismic mass.
The Relative motion between the coil and magnet
generates voltage proportional to vibration velocity.

SIESMIC MASS : Plunger Coil principle
Natural frequency of spring mass system ω = 2πf = √c/m
m = mass of plunger coil with spring
C = spring constant
Above ω,coil stands still due to its mass inertia
When coupling the siesmic sensor to vibrating structure,a relative movement is

generated between permanent magnet & plunger coil.a voltage is induced in the coil
Which is proportional to the vibration velocity :
e=B.l.V 6 5
l= Length of conductors

B= magnetic induction

ABSOLUTE SHAFT VIBRATION
• RELATIVE SHAFT VIBRATION IS BASED ON EDDY CURRENT PRINCIPLE.
• PROXIMOTY PROBE SENSES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PROBE TIP
AND THE OBSERVED SURFACE.
• PROXIMETER GENERATES A RADO FREQUENCY SIGNAL, WHICH IS
RADIATED THROUGH THE PROBE TIP INTO THE OBSERVED SURFACE.
EDDY CURRENTS ARE GENERATED IN THE SURFACE AND LOSS OF
STRENGTH IN THE RETURN SIGNAL IS DETECTED BY THE
PROXIMETER.

MATERIAL

Radio Frequency
Signal
The oscillator in the matching unit supplies(RF signal) the coil in the sensor
with a load Independent,high frequency alternating current.if the sensor is
brought near to a metal object,the eddy currents are induced in surface of the
object and the power is absorbed thus alternating the voltage across the coil.The
alternating voltage is proportional to the distance between the measured Object
and the sensor.the output amplifier forms a load independent D.C. Voltage signal.

PROXIMITY SENSOR – Matching Unit
The matching unit converts the sensor signal into a voltage signal which is
proportional to the distance between measuring object and the sensor.
