Systems and Instrumentation Courses – Fundamentals

Fundamentals of Vibration and Transducer Operation

This course provides an overview of the theory of operation, applications, installation, and troubleshooting of vibration transducers, including displacement (proximity), velocity (moving coil & piezoelectric), acceleration (piezoelectric), and optical phase reference sensors. The workshops are designed for maximum interaction with the equipment, and provide an opportunity for the students to practice.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
  • Learn how to explain the different types of transducers and their applications.
  • Install, gap, and verify a proximity transducer system.
  • Understand how to properly install a casing-mounted transducer.
  • Explain and identify the causes and corrections for noise and error sources.
  • Troubleshoot proximity transducer systems.
Course Length
  • 2 days
Materials Provided
  • Training Manual
  • Lab Stations with all hardware
Prerequisite
To maximize the benefit of this course, we suggest that the student purchase the Data Acquisition CBT and review it prior to attending most of the courses in the Condition Monitoring curriculum
