COMBINED VIBRATION AND STRAIN GAUGE ANALYSIS FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF INDUSTRIAL MACHINES

Abstract

The Paper is devoted to combined vibration and strain gauge analysis for diagnostics of industrial machines. It is suggested
to use strain gauge spectrum analysis. For studying it an experimental installation is designed and created. This installation allows getting signal from strain gauge sensors with maximum frequency 12.87 kHz. According to experimental study application of strain gauge spectrum analysis can provide almost the same information as vibration spectrum analysis. Combination of these two spectrums can give more useful information. Particularly it can be used for filtering noise. In the experimental study spectrums were significantly cleared without any instrumental and digital filters, it was done only by analysis of combination of the spectrums. This study can provide more reliable diagnostics of industrial machines.
