Note:
- RMS velocity amplitude is measured in the frequency range from 10 to 1000 Hz.
- The shaft height is the vertical distance from the base of the motor to the centerline of the shaft

Motor vibration measurements should be carried out in the condition of motor no-load operation, at rated
voltage and nominal frequency (AC motor), nominal speed(s), and motor operational temperature.
