    A bump test is used to determine the natural resonant vibration frequency of a machine component. A soft rubber mallet is recommended to strike the component, as a metal hammer may affect the measured frequency. The test procedure involves configuring the data acquisition settings, setting the trigger level, striking the component, and analyzing the vibration response to identify the resonant frequency peak in the frequency-domain graph.

    BUMP TEST

    A Bump Test (Resonance Test) is used to determine a machine component or structure natural resonant vibration
    frequency. Specially designed Modal Hammers can be used for this purpose, but a properly conducted Bump Test
    can be equally effective in most instances.
    IMPORTANT: Soft rubber mallets are recommended for performing a Bump Test. DO NOT use a metal hammer.
    Metal Hammers generate their own resonant frequency upon impact, which may affect indicated resonant vibration
    frequencies.

    To start this test, configure the Trigger for Channel 1:


    - On the Setup menu, select Config.
    - In the Preferences window, select the Channels tab.
    - Confirm that Channel 1 is set to 100 mV/g Accelerometer
    - Trigger box for Channel 1 must be checked.

    Default Trigger level is set at 1.000 (units are in mm/s or in/s,


    depending on whether Metric or Imperial units are selected on
    the Signal tab).

    NOTE: If ambient vibration in the area is higher than the Trigger


    setting because other machines are operating nearby, increase
    the value to a level where the Trigger is not activated by ambient
    vibration.

    Start a New Analysis on 1 Channel.

    NOTE: Depending on the interface (2-channel or 4-channel) and how many sensors are placed in other directions,
    additional channels can be simultaneously collected:

    Select the time for the recording (in this example 5 seconds) and select the Trigger recording mode.

    - Analysis column may immediately display ambient vibrations where the Channel 1 sensor is placed.
    - Graphics in time-domain waveform and FFT may immediately display low-amplitude ambient
    vibration.
    - The counter (showing how many seconds are left to finish recording) should remain inactive. A
    recording should not begin until the Trigger vibration threshold is exceeded. Ideally, when the
    component or structure is intentionally struck to Trigger a resonance.

    Strike the component or structure in a rapid movement with the rubber mallet, then let the vibration
    attenuate until it stops:

    On the time domain waveform, zoom-in the impact area:

    The component or structure resonant frequency is 1332.53 CPM (right click on FFT graph to show markers):
