VIBRATION AND VIBRATION METERS
VIBRATION AND VIBRATION METERS
Normally, vibrations arising in an industrial or residential environment are clearly an unwanted phenomenon, except in some special cases. Such unwanted vibrations are not only unpleasant to humans but they can also shorten the life of machinery, impair product quality, and cause defects and breakdowns.
Sound arising from vibrations is also an environmental problem. Finding solutions to the multi-faceted problems presented by vibrations therefore is an important and pressing task.
RION vibration meters are effective tools used to collect information in a wide range of fields. These include the maintenance, monitoring and testing of machinery, product design and research, quality control, noise and vibration countermeasure research, evaluation of tools and vehicles according to labor environment and hygienic regulations, vibration pollution control, and seismographic data collection and disaster prevention.
This article will explain the basics required to perform vibration measurements, focusing mainly on mechanical vibration-related matters, as follows:
- Basic definition and properties of vibration
- Maintenance methods for equipment and machinery (equipment diagnosis), etc.

About vibration
We will explain the basic knowledge necessary for vibration measurement, such as expressing the vibration and measuring quantities (acceleration, velocity, displacement).

Equipment diagnosis (using vibration method) Production equipment used to make products and machines with moving parts, such as large pumps, have a lifespan. In order to manage equipment, it is important to know the condition of the machines. Regular inspections are carried out and maintenance is carried out before any abnormalities occur. By preventing machine breakdowns before they occur, you can avoid production stoppages due to sudden equipment failures and the associated loss of profits. This section explains "Equipment Diagnosis (using vibration method)," a technology that grasps the operating status of equipment, predicts and forecasts signs of malfunctions and breakdowns, and their impact on the future, and identifies necessary countermeasures.

Seminars and Events
RION holds the seminar on basic technology related to vibration and noise measurement. We are also planning to participate in various exhibitions. Please feel free to join us.
