A Guide On Vibration Monitoring Systems

If you scan through all the available methods to assess the health of a rotating machine, you will find that machine vibration monitoring is the most widely accepted method. Most industries rely on this method to determine the health of rotating equipment.

Now, you might be thinking why there is a need for a vibration monitoring system. The answer is simple: to cut down the cost of machine repair, loss of production, quality problems, and many other negative impacts that can deteriorate machine condition. Therefore, the use of a vibration monitoring system is well justified to save time and money.

In the market, you will find a wide range of Condition Monitoring systems. So, it can be really difficult to find the best condition monitoring system if you are not familiar with the system. Below-mentioned are five points that can help you make an informed decision when you are looking for a vibration monitoring system:

*The first rule is that you should always deal with the company that offers 'Made in USA' systems. Doing so, will make sure that you get the top quality machine for vibration monitoring.

*Always choose a Bearing Vibration company that offers a rugged machine with exceptional quality and top customer care service. The company should provide you with both long-term and short-term support, which include initial installation of the machine, analysis of machine, and vibration.

*If you want to get data of overall outputs, you should buy a vibration monitoring system that offers vibration outputs for the X, Y and Z axis in acceleration. You can also purchase a system that can provide a temperature output in addition to vibration outputs for the X, Y, and Z axis.

*The machine should come with automatic calibration verification and diagnostics.

*It is advisable that you should purchase a monitoring machine that comes with universal mounting, which means it can be mounted on any axis and any orientation.

In addition to aforesaid points, you should make sure that the vibration system you are going to buy comes with a smart addressable microprocessor for onboard signal conditioning, velocity, displacement or impact to detect looseness, Multi-color sensor status LED etc. The answer is simple: to cut down the cost of machine repair, loss of production. If you take care of all these things, you will certainly buy a top quality machine. You must remember that a monitoring machine saves you a lot of money. So you should leave no stone unturned when it comes to buying a superior quality machine.
