Start Vibration monitoring of piston compressors
Start Applications

Vibration monitoring of piston compressors

  • Monitoring of piston rod subsidence with Proximity Probes

  • Monitoring of crosshead impacts with Impact Transmitter (seismic)

  • Monitoring of housing vibration with vibration transmitter (seismic)

  • Temperature monitoring

Possible causes of failure

  • Wear

  • Material breakage

  • Loosening of screw connections

  • Leaks

  • Liquid in the cylinder

  • Assembly errors

  • Overload

  • Ageing in foundations

  • unfavourable operating conditions

Technical features

Piston compressors contain components that move in both rotary and linear directions.

Products

a) Transmitter ST5484E (4-20mA, raw signal) - for measuring the housing vibrations.
b) Impact Transmitter IT6810 (4-20mA) - for impact measurements.
c) Accelerometer SA6200A + Signal Conditioner 5580/SW5580 (4-20mA, switching outputs, raw signal output, display) - for impact measurements
d) Proximity Transmitter MX2034 (4-20mA, raw signal) + Proximity Probe MX8030 8mm, Triaxial, Vibelock) + Extension Cable MX8031 (Triaxial, Vibelock) - for shaft vibration ('radial bearing') and 'speed' measurements
e) Proximity Driver MX2033 (3-wire) + Proximity Probe MX8030 (8mm, Triaxial, Vibelock) + Extension Cable MX8031 (Triaxial, Vibelock) + Signal Conditioner 5580/SW5580 (4-20mA, switching outputs, raw signal output, display) - for 'Rod Drop' measurements
