Detect Early; Act Smart; Perform Better with Vibration Analysis Accurate diagnostics for reliable, efficient, and predictive maintenance
Vibration analysis (or vibration monitoring) is a powerful diagnostic tool for identifying, monitoring and preventing mechanical failures in rotating and reciprocating machinery. It’s an essential component of predictive maintenance programs, allowing technicians to detect developing problems in equipment before they lead to costly unplanned downtime or catastrophic failures.
Vibration analysis, a component of condition monitoring systems, utilizes vibration sensors to measure frequencies in an asset and detect abnormalities that may indicate a problem. At its core, vibration analysis is the study of the oscillatory motions of machines and their components around an established equilibrium point. These oscillations can result from a number of issues, including imbalances, misalignments, looseness, bent shafts and bearing defects, among others.
By measuring and analyzing machine vibrations, technicians can better assess the health and performance of equipment, enabling them to pinpoint issues and implement corrective actions. And since rotating and reciprocating components (e.g., motors, compressors, pumps, etc.) tend to vibrate more intensely and more loudly as they age, analyzing changes in vibration can help maintenance managers monitor machine conditions in real-time and proactively identify asset wear and damage.
A rotating machine becomes imbalanced when its rotor’s center of mass doesn’t align with its center of rotation. This rotational unbalance is a major cause of damage in machines like motors, fans, turbines, and pumps. It leads to high vibration, overheating, and premature bearing wear, reducing equipment lifespan and increasing maintenance costs.
Fortunately, unbalance is easy to fix. With the right balancing tools, issues can be corrected before they become serious. Our vibration specialists can identify and resolve unbalance by properly balancing your machines.
Incorrect alignment between couplings and shafts can greatly reduce machine lifespan. Misalignment is linked to nearly 50% of rotating machinery failures due to excessive vibration and heat, leading to early bearing, coupling, and shaft damage.
Our company offers vibration analysis and laser-based alignment to accurately detect and correct misalignment. Contact us, and our experts will visit your plant promptly to fix the issue.
A rotor is considered bent when it loses its symmetry with respect to its rotating axis. The bent can have its origin in thermal growth or radial and axial overload. A bent shaft can occur due to manufacturing defects, shipping damage, or uneven wear over time.
Our specialists will help you to identify this problem in your rotary machines.
Mechanical looseness occurs when rotating components have been fitted incorrectly. Rotating looseness occurs in rotating machinery such as pumps, fans, and motors. It is caused by excess play or movement in the rotating components, such as shafts, couplings, and bearings. Rotating looseness can be challenging to diagnose because it often occurs only when the machine is running.
Generally, there are three types of looseness, type A, B & C. Each type of looseness has its own vibration characteristics. We help our customers to identify any kind of looseness and solve it before major damages in rotary machines or foundations.
Defects in rolling elements can cause severe damage and costly downtime. Vibration analysis is a reliable method for detecting bearing faults by identifying deviations from a machine’s normal vibration pattern.
Through frequency analysis, specific faulty components can be pinpointed early, providing advance warning of potential failures. This allows timely maintenance planning and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
Gears play a vital role in machines and gearboxes, and their unexpected failure can cause major losses. Vibration analysis helps detect gear defects early by identifying fault signatures in the vibration signal. Using advanced signal processing, it’s possible to assess fault type and severity, predict failures, and prevent costly downtime.
Our experienced vibration specialists can help you keep your gearboxes in top condition and reduce maintenance costs.
See what your eyes can’t; reveal hidden motion in your machines with Motion Amplification
Motion Amplification Technology visualizes and measures any displacement, movement, or vibration that is invisible to the human eye. This technology is implemented in a comprehensive industrial system called Vib Vision, which combines a modern high-speed camera with unique software powered by advanced processing algorithms. It is used to extract massive vibration data for the analysis and troubleshooting of equipment issues. Each pixel within the camera’s field of view acts as a sensor capable of detecting vibrations or movements with exceptional precision.
