Vibration Analysis is a predictive maintenance method which allows early problem detection in rotating machinery, such as: gearboxes, fans, shafts, motors, compressors, pumps, mixers, driers - in fact, almost any type of active machinery.

What Causes Vibration ?

There are numerous specific problems that can cause a machine to exhibit excessive vibration and Vibration Analysis (VA), is used to locate the root cause. Forces that cause vibration are usually generated through the rotating motion of the unit’s components or the electrical supply frequency. When a defect condition occurs the problem will exhibit characteristics that are directly related to specific frequencies.
