It is essential to design a device that has to meet a certain vibration level. Ideally, the desired vibration response must be clearly stated before a design can begin. Many different methods have been proposed to measure and describe acceptable levels of vibration in many…
read moreVibration meters are handheld instruments which are connected to and receive a signal from a vibration transducer and have a capability to process data so as to give an indication of vibration parameters. They are sometimes made specifically to meet certain standard, for example, ISO…
read moreBelt drives are commonly used to transmit power. They are cheap and easy to maintain. However they are often a source of vibration due to misalignment, belt wear, and belt resonance. Belt misalignment can be identified from frequency spectrum, 1X vibration in both the radial…

These systems can range from small units with dimensions under a foot to extremely large units greater than 10 feet in height, depending on the specific application. Before installation, each…
