Vibrodiagnostiek

Vibrodiagnostiek is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used to assess the condition of bearing and other mechanical components. The method involves applying a controlled vibration to the component and measuring the resulting vibrations. By analyzing the frequency and magnitude of the vibrations, technicians and engineers can gain insight into the condition of the component.

The technique is commonly used in industries where mechanical components are subject to wear and tear, such as in rotating machinery, bearings, and gearboxes. By detecting abnormalities in the vibration pattern, technicians can identify potential problems before they become major issues. This can help prevent equipment failure, reduce downtime, and minimize maintenance costs.

Vibrodiagnostiek is also used in the diagnosis of various health conditions. For example, it is sometimes used to detect issues related to joint mobility and to diagnose neurological disorders. In these applications, the vibration is typically applied to a specific part of the body, such as the knee or elbow.

To perform vibrodiagnostiek, specialized equipment is used to generate and measure vibrations. This typically involves the use of an accelerometer to measure the acceleration of the component or the surrounding structure. The data collected is then analyzed using specialized software to identify any abnormalities in the vibration pattern.

Since vibrodiagnostiek is a non-invasive technique, it can be performed without disrupting the operation of the equipment. The method is widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and research institutions.
