Shock Pulse Transducers and Accessories
A basic requirement for condition monitoring is ac-
cess to suitable measuring points. Over the last 20
years, SPM has developed a large range of accesso-
ries and installation components which enable the
customer to reach bearings in almost any application.
The A2010 offers three alternative ways of measuring
shock pulses:
• a hand-held probe is pressed against the bearing
housing.
• an adapter is permanently installed on the
bearing housing. Readings are taken by attaching
a transducer with quick connector to the adapter.
• a shock pulse transducer is permanently installed
on the bearing housing and via coaxial cable
connected to a measuring terminal. Readings are
taken by connecting the A2010 to the terminal.
The hand-held probe is used for spot checks, for
locating the best measuring points for systematic moni-
toring, and for tracing other shock pulse sources on
the machine, for example cavitation or rubbing and
scraping machine parts.
For systematic shock pulse monitoring on a larger
number of measuring points, SPM recommends the
use of shock pulse adapters. Adapters are solid steel
bolts, installed in threaded, countersunk mounting
holes. The transducer is connected with a quick twist,
leaving the operators hands free for the instrument.
Adapters make clearly defined measuring points and
permit more accurate readings with less spread.
An alternative is the SPM transducer TRA-20 which
snaps on to a measuring stud. Studs are installed in
threded holes. Studs as well as adapters are available
in glue-on versions for thin-walled bearing houses.
Permanently installed transducers (fig. 5) are primarily
used for bearings which cannot be reached in any
other way during normal machine operation. Trans-
ducer matching units allow cable lengths of up to 100
m between bearing and measuring terminal.
