Vibration measurement is undoubtedly a proven method for monitoring machines and systems. There is a wide range of applications, from system, pressure and shaft vibrations to condition monitoring and air gap measurement. Air gap measurement is a method of measuring the distance between two surfaces using air as the medium, e.g. for rotating machines, generators, turbines or electric motors.
Air gap measurement offers a number of advantages that can take your vibration measurement application to a new level:
Early fault detection: By continuously monitoring the air gap, you can detect potential problems at an early stage before they lead to major failures. This enables preventive maintenance measures that minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
Precise analysis: The air gap measurement provides precise data on changes in the air gap, which can indicate various problems such as wear, alignment problems or thermal effects. These detailed insights enable targeted fault diagnosis and effective solutions to be found.
Reduction of downtimes: By proactively monitoring the air gap, you can minimize unplanned downtime and maximize system availability. This leads to an increase in the overall efficiency and profitability of your system.
Less interference: Compared to traditional vibration measurement, air gap measurement is less susceptible to interference from environmental influences. This enables reliable and accurate monitoring even under difficult operating conditions.
