 Introduction to
Vibration
 The Oscillatory (back and
forth) motion of a machine
from its normal position of
rest.
 Any motion that repeats itself
after a specific interval of
time .

TRANSDUCER SYSTEM
COMMON
TERMS
Axial
In the same direction
as the shaft centerline.

Radial
A direction on a
machine which is
perpendicular to
the shaft centerline
in the xy plane.
 Key Phasor
Transducer which produces once per shaft turn
voltage, called the Keyphasor.
The occurrence can be a key way, hole or slot, a
projection.
Basic Transducer + Probe Working
 Displacement
 Proximitor generates two out
puts.
 One out put as a AC signal which
tells us how much vibration is in
the machine.
 2nd out put is in the shape of DC
signal which indicates that how
much the shaft is moved towards
probe or away from probe. This
signal is also called a gap
voltage.
 Both signals are traveled
(transmitted) in the out put wires
of the driver (Proximitor)

 Proximitor

A Bentley Nevada signal condition device which

sends radio frequency signal to an eddy current
proximity probe, demodulation the probe output,
and provide out signals proportional to both the
average and dynamic probe gap distance.
 Proximity Probe

A non contacting device which measures the

displacement motion and position of an observed
surface relative to the probe mounting location.

Proximity Probes Installation

 Cross Talk
Interference or noise in a
transducer signal or
channel which originates
in another transducer or
channel, when using
proximity probes, cross
talk can occur when the
tips of two (or more)
probes are too close
together.
 Eddy Current
Electrical current which is
generated in a
conductive material
when such material
intercepts the
electromagnetic field of a
proximity probe.

Benefit of vibration
monitoring.
With Vibration monitoring system, we can
prevent problems from arising and this saves a
lot of time, money, and avoids frustration.

 To increase equipment protection

 To improve safety for personnel

 To improve maintenance procedures

 To detect problems early

 To avoid catastrophic failures

 To extend equipment life

 To enhance operations

Types of Sensors used in Vibration
Measurement

 The three principal vibration sensor types are

Displacement, Velocity, and Accelerometer
 The Displacement transducer is an eddy current
device, the Velocity transducer is often a spring held
magnet moving through a coil of wire or piezo velocity
sensor, and the Accelerometer is a piezoelectric device
somewhat similar to ultrasonic transducers.
Advantages & Disadvantages of
Different Vibration Sensors
Units are used in MMS
 MIL = .001 inch (displacement) 1
inch=25.4 mm

 pp = peak-to-peak amplitude 1 mm
=39.37 mill

 In/s = inches per second velocity

 G = acceleration due to earth gravity

 m/s2 = meter per second squared (acceleration)

 Hz = cycle per second (frequency)

 Cpm = cycle per minute

 rpm = revolution per minute (shaft rotation speed)

 μm = micrometer 10-6(displacement)
Standard length of Transducer
system:
 For 5 meter System
 0.5 m (probe) + 4.5 m (Extension cable) = 5 m

 Or

 01 m (probe) + 04 m (Extension cable) = 5 m

 For 9 meter System

 0.5 m (probe) + 8.5 m (Extension cable) = 9 m

 Or

 01 m (probe) + 08 m (Extension cable) = 9 m

System length = Probe Length
+ Extension Cable Length

From the vibration probe part number, we can get the

probe length by dividing the highlighted red number by
10 i.e. 10/10 = 1 meter in our case
 Calibration Procedure:
 Physical check of vibration probe and extension cable for any damages, if
it is please replaced with same one.

 Check resistance of vibration probe and continuity of extension cable it

should be 5 to 9Ω and 5 to 20 Ω.

 Use below equation and get reading for calibration of vibration probe.

 Connect test equipment.

 Adjust the spindle micrometer on the TK-3 test and calibration kit shown
0.51 mm (20 mils) (0.0254mm=1mils).
 Insert the probe in to the TK-3 probe holder adjust the probe in the holder until the

digital multimeter shows -3.00 ±0.10 VDC.

 Adjust the micrometer to 0.20mm (8 mils) indication and the back it out again to the

0.25mm (10 mils) indication backless in the micrometer forced the o/p voltage and

record it.

 Increase the gap in 0.25 (10mils) increment by adjusting the micrometer record the

voltage indication at each increment.

 For each gap increment subtract the voltage at the high gap from the voltage at the

low gap divide the result by in a system incremental scale factor of 7.87 ±0.79 v/mm

(200 mv ±20 mv/mils).

 Subtract the 0.25 mm (10 mils) voltage (-5 vdc) from the 2.28 mm (90 mils) (11 vdc)

and divided by 2.03mm (80 mils). The result should ina system average scale factor

(ASF) of 7.87 ±0.43 v/mm (200 mv ±11 mv/mils).
