A6220 Shaft Eccentricity

Vibration Monitor for
AMS 6500 Machinery
Health Monitor
The Shaft Eccentricity Monitor is designed for high reliability for the plant’s most
critical rotating machinery. This 1-slot monitor is used together with other AMS 6500
monitors to build a complete API 670 machinery protection monitor. Applications
include steam, gas, compressors and hydro turbomachinery.
The main functionality of the Shaft Eccentricity Monitor is to accurately monitor shaft
eccentricity and reliably protect machinery by comparing vibration parameters against A6220
alarm setpoints, driving alarms and relays.
Shaft eccentricity monitoring consists of a displacement sensor either mounted
„ Two-channel, 3U size, 1-slot plug-
through the bearing case or mounted internally on the bearing housing with an
in module decreases cabinet space
eccentricity collar near the thrust bearing as the target. The displacement sensor
requirements in half from traditional
is a non-contact sensor measuring shaft movement proportional to shaft bowing
four-channel 6U size cards
or bent shaft, below 600 rpm.
„ API 670 compliant,
Shaft eccentricity monitoring is an important measurement on large sleeve bearing
hot swappable module
machines for predictive and protection monitoring.
