What we Measure for
Vibration Analysis
Amplitude: How Much Movement Frequency: How Often The Phase: In What Direction Is
Occurs or severity of the vibration. Movement Occurs. How many The Movement. It also called
"cycles" in a period of time: a phase angle.
Amplitude measures as second or a minute
1. Displacement: mm, mils (0.001”) Unit: Degree
2. Velocity: mm/sec, in/sec Unit: Cycle per second (Hz)
3. Acceleration: G’s (1g= Force of Cycle per Minute (CPM)
gravity) or rms (root mean square)
