Types of Displacement Measurement Run-Out/Vibration There are many ways to measure run-out/vibration including the type of measurement system, run-out or vibration (direction), and environment where the system is being installed. Choosing the wrong kind of equipment can lead to drastic consequences. You can run into issues such as increased man-hours during production and issues with insufficient precision. Example Applications Run-out measurement of HDD surface Laser displacement sensors are very helpful in measuring the oscillation at a single point on a specific target’s exterior. The further away that vibration amplitude is from the center of rotation from a target, [...]
