VibrationAnalysis
Vibration Analysis Assessments performed by our experienced
Engineers has proven to be cost effective in resolving consistent
machine failures and loss in down time. Independent evaluation
on machine condition using vibration analysis provides evidence
for quality control purposes on any machine that has been
overhauled or in operation.
Vibration analysis data provides valuable
machine information on whether a machine has been correctly
serviced and meets
specific Vibration tolerances; this therefore provides customers
with vital information before accepting the machine for operational
use.
This type of service is used considerably on Steam Turbines
and other rotating machineries, where by our clients aims
are to deliver high standards on each overhaul through essential
data collected.
This type of service has many advantages to all sectors
of industry, such as one particular Hospital Air Handling
Unit (AHU) that had repeated bearing failure caused by Dynamic
Unbalance, with inappropriate bearings fitted to an intensive
care unit. This level of impotency cannot be stressed enough;
therefore vital evidence to a good machine condition is just
as important as knowing that a potential problem exists.
Performance testing for long term
operating machinery is necessary for any maintenance organisation
budgets, to outline
proposed costs for maintaining reliability. A leading Building
Service company that provides facilities to an International
Bank requires an assessment to evaluate machinery condition
for a Dilapidation report, before finalising contracts. With
realistically set budgets based on machinery condition, both
the Building Service Company & Bank has a realistic outlook
on costs for reliability.
Vibration Analysis Service by experienced Dynamic Monitoring
consultants will identify a machines condition that will
save on costs, therefore justifying the assessment.
The list below indicates typical problems that could affect
rotating machinery;
- Unbalance
- Misalignment
- Eccentricity
- Bent Shaft
- Shaft Crack
- Mechanical Looseness
- Journal Bearing Faults
- Rolling Element Bearing Faults
- Rotor Rub
- Cavitation
- Electrical Motor Problems
- Gear Faults
