When you add vibration analysis services to your preventative maintenance program, you put another set of ears and eyes on the floor. Often times, mechanics only have time to fix the problem they’re working on. They seldom have time to walk around the facility, feeling and listening to each piece of equipment. Even if they had the time, there are some things that you can’t feel or see, except on a vibration plot. Here is a list of some of the things our vibration analysts can identify on-site.
These services can help to identify:
- Unbalance
- Shaft/coupling misalignment
- Soft foot
- Rotating and non-rotating mechanical looseness
- Electrical issues: rotor bar/stator slots/rotor eccentricity
- VFD-induced electrical bearing damage
- Friction and anti-friction bearing damage
- Resonance activity: rotating and non-rotating issues
- Gear mesh issues (chipped or missing tooth/hunting tooth)
Adding vibration analysis services to your maintenance program can often identify issues before they become destructive. This allows time for planning maintenance/replacement/rebuilding of the equipment. A monthly vibration survey is considered by many maintenance managers to be a cheap insurance policy. Identifying a problem before it causes unexpected downtime, loss of productivity, and overtime maintenance hours all mean that adding a vibration program could pay for itself!
