Introduction of Machinery Vibration
Machinery vibration analysis is the most common method using in industries to detect anomalies in early stage of rotating equipment. It detects early stage failure of bearing, fin-fan, gearbox, etc. before breakdown to prevent unplanned downtime and catastrophic failures of the equipment.
How the technology works?
Vibration analyzer and data collector are using to collect vibration signal from rotating equipment with routine intervals to establish trend monitoring. Anomalies are identified and interpreted from various vibration signatures.
Application and problem detection of Machinery Vibration
- Misalignment of couplings, bearings and gears
- Mechanical unbalance of rotating components
- Mechanical 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
