Abstract

Bucket elevators generally operate on a 24/7 basis, and for this reason, one of the main requirements is their high reliability. This reliability can be ensured, among other things, by assessing the technical condition of drive assemblies and working assemblies and taking appropriate measures. Carrying out diagnostic measurements enables periodical monitoring of those mechanisms. Vibroacoustic methods are usually employed in operating conditions to measure vibration velocity and acceleration at specific points, and are used as diagnostic signals. This paper presents the results of tests of the intensity of vibrations generated in the drive unit of a large industrial bucket elevator. The analysis of the results in the time domain and frequency domain served as the basis for evaluating the suitability of the drive, and thus the elevator, for long-term operation.
