Why use Vibration Analysis?

Vibration Analysis provides us with early warnings of many potentially serious problems in rotating machinery. Vibration Analysis helps detect:

• Worn or damaged bearings
• Worn or damaged gears
• Lubrication problems
• Misalignment
• Out of balance
• Loose fittings or foundation

It’s too late once it fails

Equipment that fails while in service can cost up to 10 times more to repair than equipment repaired when predicted by condition monitoring.  Studies show the implementation of a condition monitoring program results in average maintenance savings of over 25%.

Of all the various maintenance technologies,
Vibration Analysis provides the greatest ROI when adopting a Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Program.

Most Vibration Analysts cite “Unbalance” as the leading cause of machine vibration and subsequent failure.  However, it is not the only cause.  All agree that balanced machinery operate at peak efficiency.  Vibration is a symptom of unbalanced machinery.

Mass Unbalance occurs in a rotating machine when the mass of the rotor is unevenly distributed around the center of rotation. Wien this happens the center of mass does not correspond with the center of rotation.
