    3. PARTS INTRODUCTION Figure 3.1 3-1 Main Body 3-4 3D Vibration Sensor 3-2 Stinger Probe (Cone) 3-5 Bolt 3-3 Stinger Probe (Ball) 3-6 Magnetic Base According to different situations, the transducers maybe fixed in the probe or connected to the magnetic base. (see chapter 4 in detail) 4.
  • Page 4 4.1 Installation Principle The testing position should show the vibration characters of the object to be tested. The main axis of the transducers should be consistent with the direction of the object to be tested The sensor should be in close contact with the object to be tested. 4.2 Install Method Method Install with...
  • Page 5 4.2.2 Installed With Magnetic Base Application range: Magnetic, flat surface, roughness less than Ra1.6, acceleration less than 20m/ . Usage: connect the vibration sensor with magnetic base with the M5 bolt included. And then place the magnetic base to the object to be tested. Please refer the below.

  • Page 8 times, causing costly production down time. As parts of mechanical equipment wear and deteriorate, the equipment vibration increases. Monitoring the vibration of healthy mechanical equipment on an ongoing bas is, detects any deterioration long before it becomes a critical problem, allowing spares to be ordered in advance and maintenance to be planned only when necessary.

  • Page 9: Battery Replacement

    6.3 Measurement Techniques In general, vibration of anti-friction bearings is best monitored in the load zone of the bearing. Equipment design often limits the ability to collect data in this zone. Simply select the Measurement Point which gives the best signal. Avoid painted surfaces, unloaded bearing zones, housing splits, and structural gaps.
  • Page 10 Note: (1)“Class I” is small motor ( power less than 15 kw). “Class II” is medium motor (power between 15 ~75kw). “Class III” is high power motor (hard base). “Class IIII” is high power motor (stretch base). (2)A,B,C,D are vibration Rank. “A” means good, “B” means satisfying, “C” means not satisfying, “D”...
