Total Rotor Runout Dataset

Total Rotor Runout Dataset

Data of tactile multi-probe and eddy current displacement measurement of an electric motor rotor shaft surfaces.

Original measurement data related to publication:
T. Tiainen, R. Viitala, T.P. Holopainen, B. Hemming, Analysis of total rotor runout components with multi-probe roundness measurement method, Measurement, Volume 179, 2021, 109422, ISSN 0263-2241, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.measurement.2021.109422. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263224121004115)

All data is in raw format in CSV files. The measurements were triggered with a 1024-pulse rotary encoder and contain 5 rounds of data (5120 points).

The multi-probe roundness measurement algorithm implementations are available at: https://github.com/tuomastiainen/mpr-tools

Electrical runout data, simultaneous tactile and eddy current probe measurement (Figures 7 and 8)

Raw data of electrical roundness measurement, including one file with S1 and eddy data and another file with S1, S2, S3 and S4 tactile multi-probe roundness measurement data (simultaneous measurement, S1 data are equal in both files).

Scaling

All tactile probe readings (S1 to S4) will need to be multiplied by 1/409.6 to obtain the values of the probes in micrometers.Eddy current probe data (analog voltage) was calibrated to the simultaneous eddy current probe measurement as described in the publication. The resulting calibration coefficient was 0.002130021300212892.
