How it works
The vibrations are monitored by utilizing two different measurement principles
in combination.
- Shear waves propagating from metal friction are picked up by an ultrasonic element.
These measurements will give an early indication of potential fault conditions
as all these are typically high frequency waves.
- 3D Vibrations from 0 Hz to 1 000Hz will be quantified by an accelerometer.
To optimize both metering schemes, the Vibration Monitor 3D needs both mechanical
and acoustic coupling to the structure.
The ClampOn DSP Vibration Monitor 3D can also function in parallel as a regular
Particle Monitor in REAL TIME.
Frequency range accelerometer: 0,125 Hz – 1 000 Hz, 0 g – 5 g
Frequency range ultrasonic element: 1 024 Hz – 262 144 Hz
Output format: (X,Y & Z in average
and max data); each variable is u16 data type.
Vibration resolution: 10 mg; 10 mg = 1, 1 g =
100
Measurement update time: 1 sec (updating sequence)
