MEASUREMENT AND
MONITORING
VIBRATION MEASUREMENT
Vibration measurement is the
process of quantifying the
magnitude, frequency, and
direction of oscillatory
motion in a physical system.

HOW IS VIBRATION MEASURED?

Machine vibration is 1. Displacement

typically measured and 2. Velocity
reported in terms of:
3. Acceleration
DISPLACEMENT
is the distance an
object travelled
from its equilibrium
position.

measured in
micrometers (µm),
nanometers (nm).
VELOCITY
is the time rate of
change of
displacement.

measured in
millimeters per
second (mm/s),
inches per (in/s).
ACCELERATION
is the time rate of
change of velocity.

measured in
acceleration due to
gravity (g), m/s², or
in/s².
 VIBRATION SENSORS
AND TRANSDUCERS
We accurately collect and
transmit vibration measurements
through vibration sensors.

Vibration Sensors are also known

as vibration transducers.

If the sensors are placed
for a longer duration of
time, it will provide the
following information:

How frequently
vibration occurs

The intensity of
vibration
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF SENSORS USED?

This table provides the

selection of vibration
transducers based on
the frequency of
vibration.
 WHAT IS A VIBRATION SIGNAL?
Time Waveform
The time series that carries the information
of vibration oscillations is called a vibration
signal.
People frequently ask, "How much is the
vibration?

Spectrum of Frequency
Remember that the degree of vibration in and
of itself is not an indicator of a machine's
health.
In reality; we need to know 5 parameters to
describe a vibration signal.
5 PARAMETERS TO DESCRIBE A
VIBRATION SIGNAL

1. Direct amplitude
2. Frequency
3. Phase information
4. Position
5. Shape or form
 DIRECT AMPLITUDE FREQUENCY

the measure of the the content of the

total amplitude of signal may give us
the original signal. clues to possible
malfunctions the
machine is
experiencing.
 PHASE INFORMATION POSITION

When we break the vibration Position information can

signal into discrete frequency
be very important in
components, we can measure
both their amplitude and
analyzing certain machine
phase. malfunctions.
SHAPE OR FORM
Knowing the subtle variations in the
shape of a vibration leads to a greater
degree of accuracy in diagnosing the
source, the underlying cause, and then
the appropriate action to take.
WHAT IS SIGNAL Signal conditioning

CONDITIONING?
is a process of data
acquisition, and an
instrument called a
signal conditioner is
used to perform this
process.
 WHAT IS A DATA ACQUISITION
SYSTEM? (DAQ)
DAQ system
collects data from
the real world and
converts it into a
digital format that
can be processed
by a computer.

A data acquisition system is a system that

includes measurement devices, sensors, a
computer, and data acquisition software.
MODERN DAQ SYSTEMS CONSIST OF
FOUR ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS:
1. Sensors
2. Signal Conditioning
3. Analog-to-Digital Converter
4. Computer with DAQ software for
data logging and analysis
Data acquisition instrumentation
is also heavily used in monitoring
applications. Such examples are:

1. Monitor the condition of complex machinery such

as generators, motors, fans, etc.
2. Monitor structural properties of buildings such as
bridges, stadiums, etc.
3. Monitor energy consumption and energy efficiency
in the production process.
4. And many other monitoring scenarios.
REMOTE VIBRATION MONITORING (RVM)

type of condition monitoring RVM systems are a versatile

that uses sensors to measure
vibration levels on equipment
and then transmits that data
to a remote location for
analysis without having to
send technicians out to the
field.
and powerful tool that can be
used to improve the reliability
and efficiency of equipment
maintenance in a wide variety
of industries.
REMOTE VIBRATION MONITORING (RVM)

Devices that include an

Accelerometer and is capable
of measuring vibration and
send it to a receiver using a
Wireless protocol is called a
Wireless Vibration Sensor.
WHY IS VIBRATION MEASUREMENT
AND MONITORING IMPORTANT?

VIBRATION
IS THE LANGUAGE OF
MACHINES.
