Charakterystyka elektroniki Signal

Most industrial velocity sensors produce an alternating current (AC) voltage output that mirrors the vibration waveform. The instantaneous voltage level corresponds to thee vibration velocity at each momento im time.

Integated piezoelectric velocity sensors output a voltage or current signal (usually 4- 20 mA for loop- powilid devices) after internal integration. The sensitivity is expressed in mV (or mA) per mm / s. For example, a sensor witch a sensitivity of 100 mV / mm / s will produce 100 mV RMS wheren superited to a 1 mm / s RMS vibration.

Interpreting Velocity Signals in Vibration Analysis

Interpreting thee output of a velocity sensor involves extracting contriful information frem the time waveform andd frequency spectrum. The goal is to correlate specific signal factures with mechanical faults using precin requention and trend analyses.

Time- Domain Interpretation

Te raw time waveform displays vibration velocity as a functionion of time. Key parameters include:

• Reference: 1; Xi1; FLT: 0 X3; Xi3; Overall RMS Level: Xi1; Xi1; FLT: 1 Xi3; Xi3; The root- mean-square value represents the total vibration energy over the mearurement bandwidth. ISO 10816 providee sevites sevity charts for different machine classes based on RMS velocity. A rising RMS trend indicates progressive decuration.

For example, a pure sinusoidal waveform at 1 × rotational speed with steady amplitude supregents residuaal imbalance. A waveform wigh multiple superimpose sinusoids could indicate several faults insianously.

Często Domain Interpretation Using FFT

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) converts the time- domain velocity signal into a frequency spectrum, revoaling the amplitude of vibration at each frequency. This is the most powerful tool for fault identification because each mechanical containt generates vibration at charactic frequencies.

FFT analyses resolution (lines of resolution) and averaging to reduce noise. Velocity spectra are especially useful because thee amplitude decline at higher dipresencies is less steep than for displacement but steeper than for sucreasation, giving a balanced view.

Phase Analysis

Phase measurements (relative timing between vibration signals at different points or between vibrations and a keyfasor) add anotherr dimension. For example:

• Xi1; Xi1; FLT: 0 Xi3; Xi3; Imbalance: Xi1; Xi1; FLT: 1 Xi3; Xi3; Phase difference of 0 ° or 180 ° across the same bearing in vertical andd horizontal directions indicates static or couple imbalance.
