SPECIAL REPORT: NEW TECHNIQUES FOR MONITORING VIBRATIONS

The technology for vibration measuring and monitoring for rotating machinery is considered to be almost mature. The same cannot be said for reciprocating machinery, where vibration is not generally produced by bearing and rotor dynamics, but rather by various impacts--some of which, such as those caused by valve closings and piston rod reversals, are necessary. This article summarizes some of the latest available technologies for monitoring vibration, particularly that of reciprocating engines, based on a survey of a few of the major equipment suppliers.
