VIBRATION MEASUREMENT



Vibration measurement on rotating machinery is normally done for two major applications:

1. Quality Control, and

2. Predictive Breakdown Maintenance.



In addition to the commonly understood QC application on motors, generators, blowers, or a host of

rotating or reciprocating machinery, vibration is increasingly being used with enormous benefits for the

second application : Predictive Breakdown maintenance.



In continuously running plant, where sudden breakdowns can be disastrous, vibration is an immensely

important indicator for planning an effective predictive maintenance strategy. Periodically observed

vibration readings at strategic points on the machine will indicate a rising trend well before a breakdown

occurs. This signals the need for taking timely corrective action. This will drastically reduce sudden and

unexpected machinery failures, thus resulting in substantial savings in downtime.



GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The BASELINE Vibration Meter 1050H is a handheld analog instrument designed for a large variety of

vibration measurement applications. It can indicate True RMS vibration displacement.

The instrument is suitable for a variety of vibration measuring needs such as for fans, blowers, turbines,

generators, rotary or balanced opposed compressors, pumps, motors, alternators, engines, gearboxes,

bearings etc.



The instrument is extremely easy to use: just connect the sensor, attach a magnetic base or the touch

probe, contact it to the point where the vibration is to be measured, choose an appropriate scale, and the

unit indicates the vibration reading on its analog meter.



The above information is a general description only, is not guaranteed and contains no warranties of any kind.

Membrane switches and surface mounted components with a single PCB have enabled a high reliability

instrument with lower cost.

The unit operates from field replaceable AA sized cells.



CONSTRUCTION

The 1050H is a hand - held execution of its table -top predecessor : the 1050. A large number of

vibration users prefer the analog execution both from cost and ease -of use considerations. The analog

meter behaves better from readability point of view in situations where the vibration is not constant due to

some reason.



The 1050H employs a high dynamic range accelerometer sensor with built -in line driver amplifier. The

sensor itself is a totally rigid device with no moving parts. The sensor responds linearly to all frequencies in

the range of 600 - 60,000 RPM, which is the specified frequency range as per IS 11726. The acceleration

sensed by the sensor is converted electronically into velocity and displacement, its magnitude computed,

and the output displayed on the analog meter.



The unit employs state-of-art surface mount devices to keep the entire electronics on a single PCB,

making it more reliable, compact and economical. The controls are kept to bare minimum and the switches

are sealed membrane type, integral with the PCB for greater reliability.
