Vibration sensors employed in condition monitoring programs can experience signal loss or degradation for many reasons. In order to pinpoint the cause of failure, a portable reference vibration source is a valuable tool, enabling known signal levels to be traced throughout the measurement chain.

Learning Points:

• Portable vibration sources are a cost-effective and efficient means of determining the point of failure in vibration monitoring systems.
• Portable vibration sources can eliminate significant time and costs associated with vibration sensor re-calibration and replacement
• Portable vibration sources enable the entire measurement chain to be verified for proper operation
