One of the earliest signs of machine failure is the propagation of vibration. Although these problem vibrations are present even when a machine sounds and performs normally, our analysts can help you make informed decisions regarding the health of your machinery by monitoring it with vibration analysis.
Our technicians take readings for amplitude, frequency and phase of vibration, as well as perform a suite of related tests to determine thr source and severity of each vibration. Vibration analysis combined with our expertise can troubleshoot, predict and diagnose problems before they occur. This gives you the ability to fix only warranted repairs and avoid breakdowns thereby reducing maintenance costs and increasing productivity. We create an environment of reliability by examining vibrational data and using a technique called vibration spectral analysis to give you the advantage over misalignments, vibrational noise, turbulance, faults, damaged parts, worn parts and more.
Types of faults identifiable using vibration analysis:
- Imbalance
- Belt Misalignment
- Coupling Misalignment
- Looseness
- Resonance
- Bent Shafts
- Cocked Bearings
- Lubrication Faults
- Flow Turbulence
- Worn Impeller
- Anti-friction Bearing Fault
- Inner Race
- Outer Race
- Ball/Roller
- Cage
- Cracked Gear Teeth
- Broken Gear
- More.......
