mm/s vibration

mm/s vibration

(OP)
I am monitoring vibration on a centrifuge and would like to know what mm/s of vibration means

RE: mm/s vibration

milimeters per second

RE: mm/s vibration

... probably RMS velocity.

RE: mm/s vibration

Vibration can be measured in terms of displacement, velocity and acceleration of the object.
What you are measuring is the velocity of the object/structure/whatever (due to the applied forces) in millimeters per second.

RE: mm/s vibration

It could be in rms, peak, to peak, or zero to peak, or absolute.

It could be time averaged.

It will be frequency limited.

RE: mm/s vibration

perhaps because you said "zero to peak" as opposed to "zed to peak"
