Measurement of vibration is of great importance when aiming for a high quality bearing production. Some types of vibration are related to diminished bearing life, or can be a source of customer dissatisfaction. Vibrations in bearings are caused by time varying forces in bearing. The contact forces move around the bearing, giving rise to perfect bearing vibrations in the outer ring.
With the SKF noise and vibration equipment we can quantify and trace the reasons for the vibrations.
The MVM family is mainly intended for deep groove ball bearings but other bearing types like self-aligning ball bearings and double row angular contact ball bearings can also be measured.
