Vibration Maintenance Records
Recorded vibration levels:
provide machine history
trend machine conditions
help schedule maintenance
Recording intervals vary from machine to machine.
Age and machine condition are important factors, but a
general rule of thumb is readings should be made more
frequently as soon as machinery deterioration is
noticed.
Vibration Maintenance Records Samples may be
downloaded from the Balmac Inc. website.
Directions:
1. Sketch basic machine configuration in upper
left grid.
2. Record operator identification, dates, times,
etc.
3. Include critical machine information such as
type of equipment, RPM and special notes.
4. Record vibration readings in HORIZONTAL,
VERTICAL and AXIAL directions in appropriate
columns. Record both VELOCITY and
DISPLACEMENT readings.
Vice Grip Pliers
The Model 158 Pickups may
be attached to Vice Grip
Pliers for non-magnetic
surfaces.
Fish Tail Shaft Sticks
The Fishtail Shaft is used to
measure vibration on
rotating shafts.
Headphones
Headphones are useful for listening top machinery
vibrations. With experience, an operator can learn to
identify vibration sources by listening to the pitch and
intensity of the vibration noise. This can be useful when
analyzing defective bearings. Headphones may be
used with Model 200, 205 and 211 Vibration Meters.
WARNING
Rotating machinery have potentially dangerous moving
parts. Potential hazards to the operator or the
surrounding area may exist. Operators should use
extreme caution when working around moving parts.
