Standard Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the require-
‘ents for due procase, consensus, and otner criteria for approval have been met by the
standards developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Reviow,
substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests,
‘Substantial agroamant means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily une-
nimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a
concerted effort be made toward thelr resolution.
‘The use of American National Standards Is completely voluntary; their existenoe does not
in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or net, from
‘manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not
Contorming to the standards.
‘The American National Standards Institute does not develop etandards and will in no
circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no
person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National
‘Standardin the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpro-
tation of this standard should be addressed to the American Gear Manufacturers

Performance of driven equipment is dependent upon the individual characteristics of the
prime mover, gear unit, driven machine and support structure, as well as their combined
‘effects as a system, The proper assessment of performance characteristics is essential for
realistic evaluation, The knowledge and judgment required to properly evaluate the gear
Unit vibration comes primarily from years of accumulated experience in designing,
manufacturing, and operating gear units. For these reasons, the use of this standard and
{he evaluation of test results for specific gear product applications should only be attempted
by experienced personnel.
‘The complexity of gear vibration phenomena makes most vibration standards dificult to
‘apply or to properly interpret. The AGMA Acoustical Technology Committee developed the
-Specttication or Measurement of Linear Vibration on Gear Units to provide a common basis
for communication between project engineers, gear manufacturers, and users. The
purpose was, also, to encourage the maximum practical degree of uniformity and
consistency among vibration measurement practices within the gear industry,
Because of he wide variation of gear driven systems and structural supports, ANSVAGMA
6000-AB8 identified certain areas where special considerations might be necessary and
must be agreed upon between purchaser and gear manufacturer when discussing gear

American National Standard —
Specification for
Measurement of Linear
Vibration on Gear Units
1 Scope
This standard presents a method for measuring
steady state ftered linear vibrations of a gear unit.
‘Types of instrumentation, measurement methods,
und testing procedures for the determination of
linear vibration levels for specific types of gear units
are provided. Vibration imits at discrete frequencies
are recommended for acceptance testing. It Is not
the intent of this standard to provide unfitered limits.
The recommended limits and conditions specified
herein are intended as the vibration ortteria for
performance of the gear drive during the equipment
‘manufacturer's test when specifically agreed to by
the manufacturer and purchaser.
‘This standard is specifically applicable to enclosad
‘speed reducing or incroasing goar drive units
designed, rated, and lubricated in accordance with
ANSI/AGMA product standards as indicated in 4.3.
This standard does not apply to integrated systems,
‘shaft-mounted units, special or auxiliary drive trang
of power take-off gears. Vibration ampiftudes
exceeding the recommendations of this specifica:
tion for drives with flexible housings or on flexible
supports may also be allowable if accounted for in
the design. Acceptable limits for this type of
equipment should be independently spectted.
However, if negotiated, this standard may be applied
‘to such equipment.
Torsional and transient vibrations of a geared systern
are not included in this standard.
NOTE: Compliance with this standard does. not
cconatitule @ warranty of the measured gear unit's
performance under installed field service conditions.

Five annexes are for reference only and are not a
part of this standard,
Annex illustrates the relationship between
vibratory displacement, velocity end acceleration
waveforms.
Annex B discusses systems effects and responsibilty.
Annex C presants five classes of gear unit vibration
rating and a subjective procedure for selecting the
proper rating based on the application and
transmitted power.
‘Annex D gives the conversion of metric, SI units to
non-metric (inch) units.
‘Annex E contains a bibliography.

4 Application
4.4. Unit type limitations
‘This standard applies only to power transmission
gear units. comprised of a gear train and the
necessary bearings and shafts in an individual
housing. The gear unit should be tested in a manner
‘to minimize system effects such as listed in annex B
Acceptable limits for tests of geared equipment
outside the scope of this standard should be
independently specified. However, if negotiated,
this standard or thers may be applied to such
equipment.
42 System considerations
Vibration fevels of the gear unit in field service may
be adversely affected by factors not under the
Control of the gear manufacturer, as listed in annex
B. Therefore, gear manufacturers cannot be held
esponsibie for higher vibration levels resulting from
environmental and system influences in field
Installation.
CAUTION: System effects should be analyzed during
{he intial design stage of a transmission system. The
responsibilty for this analysis must be cleely defined
‘during this stage. All eyetem component manufactur
fers should be made aware of this decision on
responsibilty.cot byt

5 Instrumentation
5.1 Type
Vibration shall be measured with any transducer and
instrument that has a known accuracy and linear
‘output proportional to acceleration, veloctty, or
displacement across @ known frequency range. The
type and use of vibration instrumentation systems
should conform to the applicable sections of the
standards listed in table 1. An instrument capable of
frequency analysis is necessary Its fiter must be
capable of differentiating between the various exist-
ing discrete frequencies. The instrument frequency
range chall be capable of measuring the lowest shaft
rotational speed, and should be able to indicate at
least three times the highest tooth mesh frequency,
ANSVAGMA 6000-896
‘CAUTION: The instrumentation may indioste an erro-
neous vibration level due to its response imitations,
transducer mounting resonarice, and electrical OF
neti feds.
5.2 Transducers
‘The type of transducer for vibration measurement
must be suitable for the method of measurement,
and it must be used within its calibrated limits
‘Transducer calibration must be valid for the method
of mounting used.
5.2.1 Housing transducers
The recommended type of transducer for the
measurement of housing vibration is @ contact type,
{0 be used in conformance with tha manufacturer's,
tecommendations. The mounting method may
affect the frequency response ofthe transducer. The
recommended mounting s with a screw, stud, clamp
cr bonding material. However, magnetic mountings
‘acceptable up to approximately 3000 Hz for light
Weight accelerometers, providing the magnet is
suitable for the acceleration level. Handheld contact.
measurements may be acceptable to about 500 Hz
depending on the transducer and the individual's
ability to track the motion.
5.2.2 Shaft transducers
All transducers are acceptable provided that the
manufacturer's limits are not exceeded. The recom-
mended type of transducer for the measurement of
‘shaft vibration is a non-contact probe which mea-
sures the relative vibration between the shaft and the
bearing housing. Depending upon instrumentation,
‘a noncontacting probe may be used up to frequen-
cies of 10000Hz, Typical use of contacting probesis
limited to @ frequency range of 10-120 Hz and a
surface rubbing velocity of less than $0.5 mis.

6.1 Housing measurement
Housing vibretion shell be measured on a rigid
housing section such as a bearing block, Measure-
ments shall not bo taken on rolatively flexible
housing sactions such as covers or sidewalls. See
annex B for other considerations. Measurements
shall be taken in three orthogonal directions, one
axial and two which ie ina plane perpendicular tothe
rotating axis of the gears, preferably horizontal and
vertical. It is recommended that measurements be
taken at each externally accessible bearing location
‘on a gear unit. fa bearing block is inaccessible, the
earest mounting point may be used.
6.2 Shaft measurement
‘Shan vibration probes shall be iocated as near tothe
bearing as possible and non-contact probes should
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD
be attached to a rigid housing section. Shaft
vibration shell be measured in a plane perpendicular
{o the rotational axis, preferably on two axes at right
angles. Preferably, the mechanical and electrical
runout should not exceed 25 percent ofthe allowable
vibration displacement rating, of 6 um whichever is
the greater, Probe location should not be at keyway,
splines or other shaft discontinuities. Shaft mechay
al and electrical runout at the probe locations (if
known) may be vectorialy subtracted from the
vibration readings to arrive at the actual vibration
levels, provided the vactor and phase relationships
‘are maintained between the runout and the vibration
measurement. The maximum mechanical and
electrical runout under the probe that can be
subtracted shall not exceed that of the shaft bearing
Journal runout or 26 ym ictal indicator reaaing
(TLR), whichever is the smallest. Axial shaft
vibration may also be measured.
63 Units of measurement
The preferable units of measurement are listed in
table 2,
6.4 Measurement data
‘Major vibration levels at discrete frequencies shall
be recorded. Fluctuating analog meter readings
shall be recorded as a subjective average. The
sample rate for digital instrumentation shail be
adequate for the frequency measured. Specific
operating, instrumentation, and gear unit data shall
be recorded (see clause 9).

7.4 Test system arrangement
The test transmission system (driver, gear units, and
Joad) should preferably be connected by means of
the final intended components, if available. If this Is.
not possible, the pulley or half ofthe service coupling
of an equivalent mass and axial cemter of gravity
should be mounted on the gear units shafts. If
necessary, other methods of connecting the
‘components may be substituted.
‘The various components of the test arrangement
hall be rigidly mounted and properiy aligned, and in
their normal operating attitude, unless otherwise
negotiated.
7.2 Test conditions of the gear unit
For the purposes of vibration measurement tests in
accordance with this standard, the following
conditions will apply:
A gear unit intended for service at fixed
constant speed shall bs tested at thet design
‘speed unless otherwise agreed upon between
‘gear manufacturer and purchaser;
= The test speeds for a gear unit intended for
service over a range of operating speeds shall
span that range of operating specds, unless
otherwise agreed upon between the
‘manufacturer and the purchaser;
Gear units may be operated wth or without
load at the gear manufacturer's discretion unless
specifictest loads, agreed upon between the gear
‘manufacturer and tne purchaser, are stated inthe
purchase contract;
= The direction of rotation during the test shall
be the same as that intended in service, If known;
= Vibration measurements shall be made after
the gear unit is operating within its design
temperature range.
In individual cases, especially where unusually high
‘speeds or powers are involved, alternate operating
conditions may be negotiated and supported by
calculations to indicate that the alternate conditions
‘are equivalent to the specified conditions,
8 Acceptable levels

‘and acceleration are given in figures 1 through 3.
Each of these characteristics is plotied against
frequency. It is, therefore, important to note only
fitered measurements may be used in entering
these figures. Furthermore, several components of
vibration at different frequencies may acceptably
‘exist at the same time, each atthe allowable limit for
that trequency, as determined from the curves. itis.
necessary to use equipment capable of frequency
‘analysis for this purpose. Care should be taken to
assure that this equipment can resolve the vibration
Into individual component frequencias so that &
lagitimate comparison can be made withthe figures.
At present, experience suggests two classes of
vibration levels are adequate to cover most appiica-
tions. These classes are defined below. A separate
curve for each of the two classes is shown in figures
1 through 3.
841.1 Class A
Less than or equal to 25.4 m/s pitch line velocity.
The recommended limits of Class A apply 10 all
‘applicationsin this speed range except those special
cases covered by contract negotiations.
8.1.2 Class B
Greater than 25.4 m/s pitch line velocity.
In addition to units with pitch line velocities in this
range, slower units where Class B limits are desired
‘could be included in this class if negotiated between
manufacturer and purchaser.
8.2 Radial shaft displacement limits
‘Axial shaft displacement limits are not specified in
this standard. The displacement limits of figure 1 are
Intended for use in measuring gear unit bearing
housing vibration. The same limits can be used in
connection with radial shaft motion; but only if
mutually agreed upon by manufacturer and purchas-
er. This results in a more stringent specification
because shaft motion will usually be greater than
‘corresponding housing vibration displacement.
‘Shaft vibration measurements may become unreli-
able at values of less than 13 jum peak to-peak
because of mechanical and electrical eccentricities,
out-of-roundness, and errors, In those cases
where It Is desirable to measure vibration at lower
levels, special considerations must be taken.cot byt

Gear units may exhibit excessive vibrations which
are caused by factors beyond the control ofthe gear
unit manufacturer, either during shop testing or in
normal service. Some of these factors may be
unsuitable foundations and reactions from driving

analysis must be carriad out on all components of the
system in order to locate the source of the vibrations

‘A4 Relative amplitudes
It is important to note that the relative amplitudes
‘of displacement, velocity and acceleration are
functions of tne frequency of the vibration.
Example: The velocity and acceleration of a 25 mm
net peak-to-peak vibration at 10 Hz, 100 Hz and
1000 Hz are shown in table A.1.
‘AS Amplitude relationships
‘A vibration, wnen given by a simple sinusoidal
function, F() = A sin ow, has the amplitude
relationship as shown in figure A.
Frequency = 1/7 cycles per second = 1/T Hz

Annex B
(informative)
‘System effects and responsibility
[The foreword, footnotes, and annexes, it any, are provided for informational purposes only and should nat be
construed as a part of ANSV/AGMA 6000-806, Specification for Measurement of Linear Vibration on Gear Units.
B.1 Purpose
Vibrations measured on @ gear unit wil contain
‘components, not only from within the gear unit, but
from other sources within the system in which it is,
running. The actual levels measured will depend
upon how these other source vibrations are magni-
fied, coupled and transmitted from their origin to the
measuring positions on the gear unit. This annex
lists some of the eystem factors which should be
considered.
B.2 Typloal system influence factors
Usted below are examples of factors which should
always be considered when assessing the levels of
‘measured vibration:
8.2.1 Prime mover vibration sources:
= internal combustion engine forcing functions;
hydraulic motor forcing functions;
= electric motor armature off of magnetic
center;
- prime mover unbalance.
B.2.2 Load characteristics
— load changing with speed, such as on fans
and impellers;
~ load pulsations, such as with propellers,
‘reciprocating compressors and pumps;
= random toad shocks, such as on ore
crushers;
~ _acceleration-docoleration effects.
B.2.3 Assembly considerations
alignment of system components;
= securing of components;
~ balance of assemblies, sub-assemblies and
parts,
cn Geor nitro
cir
B.2.4 Torsional characteristics of system
= torsional stiiness;
~ shafts;
~ couplings;
~ other components.
~ Inertia of rotating elements;
system damping;
— couplings;
= other components,
~ natural frequencies.
B25 Lateral characteristics of aystem
flexibility;
= stability of foundations;
method of mounting;
= flexibility of components.
~ transmissibility;
= mass of component
= resonant response.
NOTE: Damped non-responsive resonant frequen-
cies can be discounted.
8.2.6 Speed ettects
= direction of rotation;
~ speed of rotation;
= acceleration and deceleration.
B.3 Responsibility
‘The factors listed in B.2 can aftnc the performance
of a gear unit in service. Often hese factors will be
beyond the contro! of the gear unit manufacturer.
‘Therefore, the manufacturer cannot be held
asponsible for any resulting adverse effects.
‘System effects should be analyzed during the intial
design stage of a transmission system. The
responsibility for this analysis must be clearly
defined during this stage. All eystem component
manufacturers. should be made aware of this
