Vibration is probably the most important indicator of the mechanical integrity of rotating machinery. Like the heartbeat of humans, Vibration within rotating machinery tells a great deal about the health of that machinery. For successful diagnostics and trouble shooting of rotating machinery, the Vibration Analyst must ensure accurate data collection, and have an understanding of the machinery design and its operating dynamics to accurately interpret typical fault patterns.
Major kind of fault and damages identificated using vibration diagnostics:
- Unbalance
- Misalignment
- Resonance
- Mechanical Looseness
- Hydraulic Flusters
- Aerodynamic Flusters
- Mechanicals Rubs
- Bearing Problems
- Belt Drive Problems
- Gear Related Problems
