shock pulse vibration
shock pulse vibration
(OP)
looking in to remote condition monitoring of radar sites,problem being have a large slewring ring 6ft in diameter rotating at 7rpm. Some of the sites are situated around the coasts and north scotland.Just worried that the use of accelerometers and shock pulse methods will not distinguish between large gusts of wind and a proper fault. Have been advised that the only way to monitor this ring is acoustically, is this true (came from a biased source). Can shock pulses monitor sufficiently in any environment or do i need to question their suitability?
Thanks
Thanks





RE: shock pulse vibration
I recommend that you install accelerometers on your radar system.
You should also install some accelerometers or geophones on the ground. One accelerometer could be mounted at the base of the radar. Another could be mounted at some distance from the radar.
Also, install a pressure tube anemometer (wind speed sensor) at the radar site.
You can then determine the excitation source by comparing the data from all of the sensors.

I struggle with an acoustic solution in the presence of high wind speeds.
