Are you simply predicting failures or also identifying the causes of the failures?

April 30, 2012

Is your vibration analysis program or other Condition Monitoring technology simply predicting failures or also identifying the causes of the failures? Vibration analysis is a very useful tool for identifying failure modes in equipment. Bearing failures, unbalance, misalignment, belt issues and many other problems can be easily identified with vibration analysis. However, the value of vibration [...]

Follow a “Quality In, Quality Out” Process with your Data Collection and Analysis Activities

March 7, 2012

The vibration analyst is expected to use his or her tools to gather the right vibration data to determine the practical health of process equipment. To distill a systematic workflow of this task, it can more easily be understood in the terms of an “input – output” process. The inputs are data taken from the [...]

Importance of Fault Frequencies in Vibration Analysis

January 23, 2012

Fault frequencies are very important in vibration analysis, because they allow the analyst to correlate vibration data to specific components in the equipment that may be in some stage of failure (equipment faults). Fault frequencies change with any adjustment in the speed of the equipment being monitored. Most modern vibration data collectors and software will automatically [...]
