Making It In A High Frequency World Striving for High-Frequency Industrial Accelerometers
As predictive maintenance teams in industrial facilities strive for a more complete picture of their equipment’s health, high frequency vibration measurements have become a crucial addition to identify faults such as motor and pump bearing defects and gear tooth inconsistencies in high-speed gearboxes. As a result, there is an upsurge in demand for vibration sensors with a high frequency response.

Simplified Vibration Monitoring: ISO 10816-3 Guidelines
The ISO 10816-3 standard provides criteria for evaluating the vibration of machinery according to measurements taken on non-rotating parts, such as bearings, bearing pedestals, or housings. It serves as a general guideline for determining overall machine condition based on the magnitude of vibration and changes in vibration levels over time. While these aren’t always the only factors that need to be considered when identifying faults, the standard is very useful for performing basic vibration analysis.

Five Minute Facts
Proper Grounding Techniques – Avoiding Radio Frequency Interference
Interference of electrical signals, whether through radio frequencies (RF), electromagnetic forces (EMI) or other sources, has long been recognized as an issue that can plague accelerometer applications. This electrical interference can manifest as increased noise, signal interruption, or erroneous data altogether, eroding trust in the measurement system and complicating machine fault analysis.

Sensor Aging and MTBF
Most general-purpose industrial accelerometers tend to come with lifetime warranties so that if anything should happen within the boundaries of normal usage, you can receive a replacement quickly enough and get your vibration monitoring program back on track

Key Features for a Vibration Analyst
For more complex analysis, analysts require more advanced tools to better diagnose issues. Playing the TWF as an audio file is a good way of listening to the vibration to potentially hear knocking, pinging or high frequency whistling, denoting a problem to further diagnose, as if you were actually beside the machine.

Maximum Cable Length for Vibration Sensors
A vibration sensor produces an AC voltage dependent on the vibration signal being measured. As such, it’s subject to all the limits of AC signals. Long cable runs are likely to introduce enough capacitance into the sensor circuit to cause distortion, which makes being able to calculate cable length limits very important..
