Noise, vibration and axial

MVS 130D, MVS 240D

General description
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.
Geometric imperfections which can arise in
raceways are:

MVS 130D

SKF noise and vibration equipment serves to
quantify and trace the reasons for vibrations.
The MVS equipment is designed for
measuring axial clearance in spherical rollers
and self-aligning ball bearings. Bearings
with a cylindrical bore and a tapered bore
can be measured.
