If you place your hand on a retating ‘mactine you will fal the vibrations. These vibrations provide usstul information about the condition of the machine. ‘The forces that cause damage in a machine act between the ralating parts. These forces are measured by monitoring the vibrations on tha outside of tho machina as tha innar forces and outer vibrations are interrelated via a transfer function called motility ‘A body is said to vibrate wnen & performs an oscilating mation about a reference position The number of times a complote motion cgyle takes place during the period cf one second is cailed ine frequency and is measured in hertz (Ha), Vibration Vibrations are measured in “Displacement (um) Velocity (mmis) “Acceleration (g, mio?
