Vibration Monitoring for Electric Motors
Electric motors drive a large share of industrial rotating equipment. Continuous vibration monitoring provides a practical way to trend mechanical health across motors critical to production.
Motor bearings
Detect developing bearing-condition changes and deterioration.
Alignment & coupling
Motor vibration can expose alignment, coupling, soft-foot and driven-machine issues.
Rotor & structure
Imbalance, looseness and structural resonance can create characteristic changes in vibration.
Measurement strategy
Monitor both motor and driven equipment where practical. Speed, load, VFD operation and mounting stiffness should be considered when comparing trends.
Scalable monitoring with Istec VibSys
Istec VibSys A01 provides four vibration channels for distributed machine-condition monitoring. Units can be installed close to selected assets and expanded as monitoring coverage grows.
VibSys works with compatible 2-wire IEPE accelerometers and is not restricted to Istec-branded sensors. Sensor selection should match the speed range, expected vibration frequencies, temperature, environment and mounting arrangement.
VibSys supports condition monitoring, trending and diagnostics. Safety-critical protection, shutdown and trip functions should use the appropriate dedicated protection architecture.
Build a monitoring system for your application
OEM Nordic can help select measurement points, IEPE sensors, VibSys channel count and accessories for your machine or plant.
