This document discusses vibration levels in electric motors. It provides vibration limits according to frame size for different mounting configurations and severity levels A and B. It also summarizes ISO 10816-1 vibration severity classifications for installed electric motors from class I to IV based on RMS velocity, with classifications from A to D where C and D indicate corrective action may be needed.

All MEZ motors are dynamically balanced with half key as standard and the vibration severity corresponds with vibration severity level A (grade N -normal), unless option 'L00-Execution with vibration severity level B' (reduced vibration severity) is selected.
For Half key balancing the
F H following symbol is marked on the rating plate H Balancing with Full key Balancing with Half key As per IEC 60034-14 these are the vibration limit values for rotor balancing: Frame size 56 < frame < 132 132 < frame < 280 frame > 280 Vibration Displacement Velocity Acceleration Displacement Velocity Acceleration Displacement Velocity Acceleration level Mounting µm mm/s m/s² µm mm/s m/s² µm mm/s m/s² Free suspension 25 1.6 2.5 35 2.2 3.5 45 2.8 4.4 A Rigid mounting 21 1.3 2.0 29 1.8 2.8 37 2.3 3.6 Free suspension 11 0.7 1.1 18 1.1 1.7 29 1.8 2.8 B Rigid mounting - - - 14 0.9 1.4 24 1.5 2.4
The interface frequencies for displacement/velocity and velocity/acceleration are 10Hz and 250Hz respectively.
When evaluating the general vibration of the Installed Electric Motors the RMS vibration velocity is generally tested [mm/s] (frequency bandwidth between 10Hz and 1000Hz). This technique is generally sufficient. The limit values for the vibration severity values are defined by ISO 10816-1 depending on motor classes. 5 2 The vibration condition is classified as follows: Vibration testing points 6 A - recently commissioned motor installation B - unlimited satisfactory long time operation C - short-time operation 4 D - vibration level that causes damage to the motor 3 1 RMS vibration Class I Class II Class III Class IV velocity 0.28 mm/s 0.45 mm/s A A 0.71 mm/s A A Class I Industrial electrical motors up to 15kW 1.12 mm/s 1.8 mm/s B Industrial electrical motors 18.5kW to 75kW with no special
2.8 mm/s B Class II foundations or rigid mounted motors up to 300kW on
4.5 mm/s C B special foundations
7.1 mm/s C B Large prime-movers and other large motors with rotating 11.2 mm/s C Class III masses mounted on rigid stiff foundations
18 mm/s D C 28 mm/s D D Class IV Large prime-movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted on soft foundations (turbo generator sets, 45 mm/s D gas turbines with P>10 MW)
If the vibration of the installed motor is classified as C or D the installation /connection to the driven equipment has to be fixed.
