What are the benefits of measuring vibration?
Detect faults at an early stage
By continuously recording vibrations, potential problems can be detected at an early stage. Deviations from normal vibration patterns can indicate impending faults or damage. In this way, suitable measures can be taken in good time to avoid costly failures or major damage.
Diagnosis and troubleshooting
Recording vibrations provides valuable data for diagnosing and rectifying problems. By analyzing the vibration data in detail, the causes of unusual vibrations or oscillations can be determined. This enables targeted identification of faults or defects and supports effective troubleshooting.
Monitor conditions
Recording vibrations enables continuous condition monitoring of machines, systems or structures. Trends and changes in condition can be identified through regular analysis of the vibration data. This enables preventive maintenance and optimized maintenance plans to improve the service life and reliability of the monitored systems.
Increasing performance
The recording and analysis of vibrations enables the optimization of processes and performance. By understanding the vibration characteristics, targeted improvements can be made, for example to increase the efficiency, accuracy or stability of machines and systems. This can lead to higher productivity, quality improvements and cost savings.

FAQ about vibration measurement

What is a vibration measuring device called?
A vibration measuring device is referred to as a vibration meter or vibration measuring device. It is used to measure and quantify the intensity, frequency and other parameters of vibrations. A vibration meter can use various sensors, such as accelerometers or velocity sensors, to measure the vibrations. It can also provide other functions such as data logging, analysis and reporting to enable a comprehensive assessment of vibrations. Vibration meters are used in various industries and applications, including engineering, construction, automotive, aerospace, environmental monitoring and many others to measure and monitor vibration exposure. - +
In which measurand is vibration specified?
The measurand in which vibration is specified is frequency. The frequency indicates how often a vibration is repeated per unit of time and is measured in Hertz (Hz). It is directly related to the number of vibration cycles per second. The higher the frequency, the faster the object or structure vibrates.
The frequency of a vibration is a crucial parameter that provides information about the type of vibration. Vibrations can have different frequency ranges, such as low-frequency (0.1 Hz - 10 Hz) for slow vibrations or high-frequency (10 Hz - 10,000 Hz and above) for fast vibrations. The frequency specification is important in order to take the correct measures to monitor, analyze and control vibrations.
In addition to frequency, amplitude, which indicates the strength or intensity of the vibration, may also be relevant. It is usually measured in units such as meters (m) or millimeters (mm) and represents the maximum deflection or displacement during vibration. Amplitude and frequency are important parameters for characterizing vibrations and taking appropriate measures.

How can vibration be measured?
Acceleration sensors
These sensors, also known as accelerometers, measure the acceleration experienced by a structure or machine. They record the vibrations in the form of acceleration values.Velocity sensors
These sensors, also known as velometers, measure the speed at which a structure or machine is moving. They provide information about the speed of the vibration and record the vibration speed.
Displacement sensors
These sensors, also known as strain gauges, measure the relative displacement or movement of a structure or machine. They detect changes in position or deflection and provide information about the displacement caused by vibrations.
Microphones
Microphones are normally used to detect sound waves, but can also be used to indirectly measure vibrations. They react to the sound waves generated by vibrations and can provide information about the intensity and frequency of the vibration.
Laser vibrometer: A laser vibrometer uses a laser beam to measure the vibrations of a surface without contact. It detects the displacement or movement of a surface by measuring the phase shift of the reflected laser beam.These methods for detecting and measuring vibrations can vary in suitability depending on the application, accuracy requirements and cost. Choosing the right detection method depends on the specific requirements and objectives of the vibration analysis.
