Mechanical vibration
Measurement of mechanical vibration of motor and its frame
Able to cover the frequency 10-1000Hz, stated by ISO-10816-1
“Mechanical vibration — Evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating parts – General guidelines”
*ISO-10816-1 is widely used for vibration measurement and evaluation of rotating machine over 600rpm.
Further, the sensor can measure not only the low frequency vibration of a slow rotational machinery as a mixer, but also be used for total vibration evaluation of building, basement and the machine itself.

Concept
VP DataViewer is a software for analysis according to the purpose using data measured with VP – 8013 and logger. Utilizing the broadband measurement capability and microtremor measurement capability of VP – 8013, it is possible to perform various analyzes that were difficult to realize with one sensor so far. You can also read and analyze the saved file of the IMVFW format saved by another measuring device.
Application examples
- Evaluation of ground, floor vibration
-
For evaluation of influence of traffic vibration on the building residential quality is performer by 1/3 octave acceleration analysis from 1 Hz.
On the other hand, 1/3 octave velocity analysis from 4 Hz is now commonly employed by the environmental vibraton standard of the installation facility of the semicondoctor device manufacturing system etc. VP-8013 App has the criteria lines as above, therefore, those 1/3 octave analysis can be evaluated being compared to such lines. - Vibration evaluation for pipes
-
The evaluation standard that SwRI (Southwest Research Institute) determined is used for the vibration evaluation on the pipe fixing structure in chemical plants. This standard is referred on FFT analysis of the displacement from 1 Hz. VP-8013 App is equipped with SwRI evaluation standard, and it can compare the FFT result to the criteria of the standard directly.
- Analysis for low-speed-rotary machinery
-
For analysis of the main shaft imbalance of low-speed rotary machines less than 600 rpm is carried out targeting to mainly on 10 Hz or less frequency components. It can get FFT analysis immediatery from data of VP-8013 which can measure low level vibration easily.
