Vibrations.....what is "Ge?"

Vibrations.....what is "Ge?"

(OP)
What are vibration units measured in?  What does Ge mean?

RE: Vibrations.....what is "Ge?"

Vibration is motion.  What units is motion measured in?

Could this perhaps be G's, meaning acceleration relative to the acceleration of gravity?  IE, 1.0 G = 32.174 ft/sec^2?

RE: Vibrations.....what is "Ge?"

not GHz (gigahertz)?

RE: Vibrations.....what is "Ge?"

Frequency and amplitude.

RE: Vibrations.....what is "Ge?"

That is the units for Envelope demodulation and the units are in G, but since the measuring technique used is different then the raw signals, G-e is not equivalent to G and a different designation is used to differentiate each.

Basically:
velocity is measured in in/sec or mm/sec
acceleration is g
demodulated signals g-e
