    PROCESSING MODES AND APPLICATIONS Tracking (narrow-band vibration analysis) 7.3 Tracking (narrow-band vibration analysis) Description The tracking technique allows specific machine vibrations to be isolated and followed, for example a particular shaft speed. This is a useful tool for machine condition monitoring, particularly for the surveillance and balancing of critical, variable-speed, multiple-shaft machines such as gas turbines.

    The relative movement between machine parts can be measured by non-contact proximity probes. The frequency range of these devices (for example, the TQ4xx series from the ® Meggitt vibro-meter product line) is typically DC to 10 kHz, so they can be used in both position and vibration measuring systems.
