A vibration sensor (K) including a piezoelectric vibrator (3) constituted by a pair of plate-like piezoelectric elements (1,2) bonded to each other with the polarization axis aligned in the direction of the thickness. The vibration sensor (K) further includes a vibrator (5) of a bending vibration mode, which is subject to resonance at a predetermined frequency and is locally provided in the piezoelectric vibrator (3) such that a portion of the piezoelectric vibrator (3), disposed peripherally of the vibrator (5) of the bending vibration mode, is fixedly supported.
摘要:
Portable vibration monitoring apparatus analyses into different frequency bands electrical signals generated by a transducer from the vibrations at selected points on a machine. The magnitudes of the signals in the different bands are compared with stored values expected for the particular point and an indication is displayed if the magnitude is too high as a possible precursor to machine breakdown. The results of the comparisons are stored in the apparatus. The apparatus has a microprocessor for performing the selection of stored values, the comparisons and the storage of the results. A keyboard is provided to enter the identity of the point under test and to cause the apparatus to display more details of the results of the comparisons. As part of a system a second, fixed, apparatus may be provided which can be connected to the portable apparatus to enter the stored values and to read from it the results of the comparisons. The fixed apparatus may have a printer. The portable apparatus may have a low power mode in which the stored results are saved.
摘要:
A method and system for determining the lubricational condition of an operating rolling element bearing utilizing a shock pulse measuring technique. A schedule of occurring shock pulses and lubricant film parameters for a running rolling element control bearing is established. The magnitude of occurring shocks within the operating bearing is determined and the lubricational condition of the operating bearing determined with reference to the established schedule. A programed shock pulse measuring instrument provides direct output of information relative to the lubricational condition of an operating bearing.
摘要:
A measuring system which characterizes an inhomogeneous medium such as living body tissue by transmitting an ultrasonic wave including a plurality of different frequency components into a measuring medium and analyzing a reflected wave received from the medium. Generally ultrasonic waves of different frequencies have respective different frequency dependent acoustic field profiles. Frequency characteristics of the measuring system itself are obtained in advance by measuring reflected waves from a reference reflector placed in a reference medium which is homogeneous or weakly inhomogeneous and has an almost or substantially frequency independent attenuation. Compensation data obtained by such measurement is stored in a memory and when in use for actual measurement of a measuring medium, the data is read out and used to eliminate adverse influences on received waves arising from such differences in acoustic field profiles.

Sensors are disposed equally about a blade row in a turbine with each sensor providing an output signal responsive to a passing blade. A blade is selected for monitoring purposes by location relative to a reference position ± some angular distance constituting a small window. As the selected blade passes a sensor, its output signal provides a pulse, and is gated. The sequential pulses of the sensors form a pulse train. An FM detector is provided to derive vibration information.

5 The passage of materials in a well casing is detected and monitored acoustically. This is especially useful for detecting the passage of cement plugs. An acoustic indicator system for use in the method comprises a microphone (10) to be placed in the well, a recording means (50) connected to the microphone, and headphones (90).

A transducer selecting system for use in a noisy environment can operate in a vibration monitoring system using a data processor. Narrow band signals representing transducer information at selected frequencies of interest are subtracted by subtractors (60,60') from broad band signals representing information and background noise. The magnitude of the background noise components of each transducer is used by a comparator (64) to select from among duplicative transducers or to signal potentially unreliable information.

A vibration monitoring sytem for aircraft engines includes a nonrecursive digital filter network (22) controlled by a data processor (16). A signal from accelerometers (1,2) are passed through a circuit (36) for sampling analogue signals under the control of sampling signals. Digital techniques process tachometer signals to generatate sampling signals at a frequency which is an integral multiple of the rotating frequency. The digital filter (22) can track the rotational frequency of the rotating component and can be accurately centred on that frequency. The digital filter includes a pair of memories (82, 88) which respectively store sampled data and constant coefficients. The sampled data storage can accommodate the output of more than one sensor and data from each sensor can be alternately processed.
