Abstract

Vibration-based condition monitoring is a well-accepted tool for diagnosing rotating machines faults. Measuring vibration on the bearings uses multiple sensors and needs skilled personnel for data collection, processing and interpretation. An analytical model for the alternate method of On-Shaft Vibration Measurement is presented. The model is validated through FE and experimental analysis. The results show that the model efficiently represents the measurement process.
