Evaluation of a non-contact method for measuring vibration of rolling bearings in industrial conditions *

ABSTRACT: Using of laser vibrometers in vibration measurement systems brings additional benefits due to the lack of impact of the sensor on the tested measuring system. Recently, leading rolling bearing manufacturers are equipping their diagnostic measuring systems with non-contact sensors. Doppler laser vibrometers are used interchangeably for electrodynamic sensors. This paper attempts to assess the vibrometer in use for measuring vibration of rolling bearings in industrial conditions.
