assessment of bearing condition by vibration analysis
| Code | PT501 |
Description:
- Vibration analysis is a key tool in estimating the condition of a roller bearing.
- The slow change in the vibration spectrum provides indications of the remaining life of a bearing and can be used as a criterion for its replacement.
- The spectral distribution can deliver accurate information on the type and location of the damage.
- PT 501contains six interchangeable roller bearings on which different faults can be detected and explained.
- The radial load on the bearing is set within broad limits using the loading device.
- An electric motor with variable speed via frequency converter is used as drive.
- An acceleration sensor with measuring amplifier serves to measure the vibrations at the bearing housing.
- The speed is measured with an optical sensor.
- The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB.
- The software for vibration analysis is included.
- The analysis software offers the following features: two-channel oscilloscope for investigations in the time range; two-channel spectrum analyser for investigations in the frequency range; vibration measuring unit; envelope analysis for bump effects and roller bearing damage.
