A condition monitoring technique that evaluates machinery vibration to assess mechanical condition and detect developing faults.
Vibration Analysis is a predictive maintenance and condition monitoring technique that measures and analyses the vibration characteristics of rotating and reciprocating equipment to detect mechanical defects, monitor equipment condition and predict potential failures. It supports proactive maintenance planning by identifying developing faults before they result in equipment failure.
Vibration Analysis evaluates machinery condition by analysing vibration characteristics to identify developing mechanical faults.
Vibration Analysis is widely applied to pumps, compressors, turbines, motors, fans and other rotating equipment to detect imbalance, misalignment, bearing defects, looseness, resonance and other mechanical abnormalities.
Vibration Analysis evaluates equipment condition through vibration measurements, whereas Predictive Maintenance uses the results of vibration analysis and other condition monitoring techniques to optimize maintenance activities.
