Taking a reading
Using the magnet mount, place sensor on a rigid part
of the machine as close as possible to the desired
measurement point
For best results sensor should be placed gently onto
measurement point by rolling the magnet onto the
machine
Avoids sudden shocks seen as large acceleration peaks
by the sensor and takes some time to die away

ISO values
ISO value (in mm/s or inch/s) is the RMS
(average) of the vibration velocity in the
frequency band as specified by ISO
10816-1 standards.
10 Hz 1 kHz (600 - 60,000 RPM)
2 Hz 1 kHz (120 - 60,000 RPM
Correct frequency band is automatically
selected based on running speed
ISO value background is color coded to

High frequency vibration
Represented in Bearing Damage Units (BDU)

Reading the display
Bearing noise
The higher the number, the more worn the bearing
1 g of high frequency vibration (100 BDU) corresponds to a relatively high
level of bearing noise, indicative of damaged bearing
Bearing noise is roughly equivalent to a percentage of bearing wear
Displayed bearing noise levels
Red: above 100 BDU
Amber: between 50 and 100 BDU
Green: below 50 BDU

Vibration analysis
1X = Unbalance
Vibration in the frequency band based on the running speed is usually
indicative of how well balanced the machine is
High vibration at the running speed indicates machinery is out of
balance
Even very well balanced machines show some vibration at running
speed
Should be quite low
Less than 2.3 mm/sec or 0.09 in/sec for a medium sized machine

16
Dec 2013| Meggitt Sensing Systems. Proprietary.
Vibration analysis
2X = Misalignment
High level of vibration in the frequency band centered at twice the running
speed is a possible indication of misalignment.
Shaft misalignment can result in a double peak in the waveform due to
two different center of gravity (one from each shaft)
Accelerometer picks up a peak as each center of gravity passes by
Two positive and two negative peaks each revolution of the shaft
Gives rise to a vibration signal at double the running speed of the machine

17
Dec 2013| Meggitt Sensing Systems. Proprietary.
Vibration analysis
3X = Looseness
High vibration in the frequency band centered at three times running
speed indicates something may be loose
mounting bolts
weak foundations
Not common to see third order vibration unless there is structural
looseness that is being excited by the vibration of the machine
