Condition monitoring of a water hydraulic actuator

摘要

This paper is concerned with the application of LabVIEW software for data acquisition involving the condition monitoring of a water hydraulic motor. LabVIEW provides a graphical programming environment that integrates data acquisition, analysis and presentation in one system for effective analysis. The motor is subjected to varying operating conditions of simulated loads and speeds and the amplitude spectra of the resulting vibration signals were analysed. The results show that the motor has a more steady operation at speeds near to the maximum operating speed.
