I have a project that requires a specially shaped oven. I wish to prototype this oven (for trial use) from typical galvanized sheet metal HVAC components, due to the convenience of off the shelf fittings. The internal operating temperature will be 615 degrees F, for 25 minute cycles followed by...
Thanks for the response Electricpete. According to a paper found on the Siemens website titled "An Analytical Approach to Solving Motor Vibration Problems", motor vibration can be quantified in three different ways. These are with units of acceleration, velocity (ips as per your indication), or...
Thanks for the two responses. The motor vibrates under no load, no pulley, key taped in as Tmoose indicated. I had read an article indicating that electrical imbalance can be ruled out by observing certain characteristics of the vibration on wind down, and running the motor at reduced voltages...
I have spoken to several local electrical motor service centers, but none have been able to indicate an actual method of simply quantifying vibration in small motors (with the viewpoint of establishing if a given motor is unacceptably unbalanced).
In my particular case, a brand new 1.5hp 2...
