Vibration Unit Converter (Acc / Vel / Disp)

Translate spectrum analyzer readings between g, m/s², mm/s, in/s, µm, and mils instantly.

Q:

How do you convert between Vibration Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement?

For harmonic sinusoidal motion at angular frequency ω = 2πf: v = ω · d and a = ω · v = ω² · d. RMS converts to peak via: Peak = √2 × RMS.

ISO 10816 & ISO 20816 Vibration Severity Standards

Condition monitoring vibration analysts frequently need to translate between accelerometer g levels, overall velocity (mm/s RMS or in/s peak), and eddy current displacement probes (microns pk-pk).
