Vibration is defined as the movement of a body about its-at rest position. Virtually every object vibrates. Vibration Analysis allows us to capture a representation of how much vibration and at what frequency the vibration exists. Armed with known information such as rotational speed, bearing numbers, gear information, belt frequencies and process variables, very distinct defects can be precisely diagnosed.

Some of the most common defects found with Vibration Analysis are unbalance, misalignment, resonance, bearing and Gear Defects and Belt Defects.

Technical discussions are part of the report detailing what we know about the problem and our recommendation to solve the problem. Predictive monitoring is generally performed periodically using data obtained from a portable instrument or permanently installed transducers. As bearings and other mechanical components age and wear, they begin to vibrate and can result in unplanned downtime.  Ongoing monitoring of equipment allows these signs of wear and damage to be identified well before the damage becomes an expensive problem.

Our field technicians provide field data collection and vibration analysis of frequency and amplitude with modern calibrated equipment including the portable CSI 2130 Machinery Health Analyzer and Emerson Process Management software. Our service can be by pre-scheduled route or on demand.
