Machine Vibration Analysis
 Your key to maximum machine life
Vibration Analysis evaluates actual machine condition - preventing damage from machine faults you don't even know about. Vibration measurements identify individual machine faults and the root cause, determining if balancing or alignment will correct the problem. Vibration analysis offers advance warning of developing problems so that you can avoid damage to machines and shutdown. It allows you to KNOW actual machine condition and avoid replacement of good components.
Be prepared, reduce damage, prevent unplanned downtime, enhance safety.
Periodic monitoring over time provides data that makes any deviation from baseline noticeable. This allows you to spot trends through consistent measurement.
What can Vibration Analysis do for YOU?
- Increase plant safety
- Increase productivity
- Reduce unnecessary maintenance
- Reduce power consumption
- Schedule predictive maintenance
- Increase machine life
- Prevent early structural failure
- Replace worn or damaged parts BEFORE they cause damage to other components (as shown below)
|
What can be detected?
- Misalignment of couplings, bearings and gears
- Unbalance of rotating components
- Looseness
- Deterioration of rolling-element bearings
- Gear wear
- Rubbing
- Aerodynamic/hydraulic problems in fans, blowers and pumps
- Electrical problems (unbalance magnetic forces in motors)
- Resonance
- Eccentricity of rotating components such as "V" belt pulleys or gears

 How does it work?
- Vibration analysis is the study of component movement, measured in terms of speed and distance.
- Forces generated within the machine cause vibration.
- The most common component failure leading to total machine failure is the machine bearings, since all machine forces transmit through the bearings...
- Vibration readings are taken with a hand-held instrument. Data is stored and transmitted back to our office for analysis.
- Customized reports are prepared containing maintenance recommendations, illustrative graphs, as well as vibration and bearing condition data.
Vibration Analysis is as easy as 1-2-3
