Vibration measurement is used to detect early warning signs of failure which can lead to machine break down, allowing machinery to be repaired or its parts replaced before costly faulure occurs.
Our vibration monitoring equipment provides machine vibration analysis to identify acute problems, or data collection capability for trending and preventative maintenance. This service can provide an early warning of problems on various types of rotating equipment. Performing correct preventive maintenance saves time and money.
- Imbalance
- Misalignment
- Looseness (Mechanical/Structural)
- Coupling Faults
- Resonance
- Blade Pass /Vane Pass / Lobe Pass
- Cavitation / Recirc
- Felt Barring
- Gear Problems
- Bearing Faults
- Lubrication / Friction
- Electrical Motor Frequencies (Rotor Bars /Electrical imbalance)
We monitor and trend all types of rotating machines such as:
- Motors AC/DC
- Pumps
- Gearboxes
- Fans / Blowers
- Turbines
- Wind Turbines
- Centrifuges/Decanters
- Drum Dryers /Slow Speed Trunions
- Paper Machines
- Any Accessible Rotating Equipment
- Ratings on the severity of the vibration
- How long the vibration has trended upward
- Time projections until alarm or danger set points will be reached
These reports also include diagnostic assessments to help identify the possible sources of the vibration and provide repair recommendations. We can trend data from various tests to gain a more holistic view of the machine’s condition to predict when corrective maintenance needs to be performed.
Planned vibration surveys will result in:
Decreased downtime
Increased production/efficiency
Decreased maintenance costs
