Monitoring
Condition
Monitoring incorporates vibration measurements to
assess machinery health. Vibration spectra are acquired
at two (or more) frequency ranges in three mutually
perpendicular axes from each test point (typically
a bearing). These six spectra represent the minimum
requirement to properly assess machine vibration.
Other measurements, such as shaft vibration or other
data display modes, may also be applicable. These
data reveal conditions such as bearing defects, imbalance,
shaft misalignment, gear wear, possible motor rotor
damage, drive belt wear, coupling defects/inaccuracies,
etc.
