There are many devices available on the market for vibration diagnostics of rolling bearings. During the operation of rotating machinery, rotating bearing components generate vibrations over a wide range of frequencies. The level of vibration increases if the bearing is not properly lubricated, is overloaded or is damaged. Devices with which we can quickly measure …

Bearings are the most susceptible part to mechanical failure that can be found in any device. This is affected by poor lubrication, lack of concentricity, lack of proper balancing of the parts, and vibrations present during the operation of the device. Naturally, vibrations will be compounded by each of the above factors, so they will …

Modal analysis, is a measurement technique used in engineering and physics to study the dynamic behavior of structures, structures and machines. It involves analyzing the natural frequencies, modal forms and damping coefficients of a given system to understand its response to external forces or disturbances. What is modal analysis? The basic idea behind modal analysis …
Predictive Maintenance is a technique that uses tools and methods to monitor the condition of a machine, during operation. The recorded data allows the engineer to predict the future failure of the monitored equipment, allowing it to be repaired or replaced, just before failure. What is the difference between predictive maintenance and preventive maintenance? Preventive …

Vibration analysis is an effective means of detecting problems in machines. The consequences of malfunctions in production plants are downtime, loss of raw materials as well as dangerous work accidents and negative ecological effects. Therefore, malfunctions must be prevented, and when they occur, a quick response is needed to solve the problem. Does vibration measurement …
Vibration measurement and analysis in maintenance – what you need to know Read More »
Digital technologies have advanced significantly over the past few years. Actually, that’s a small understatement, as we are witnessing developments that were not even imaginable fifty years earlier. Digital cameras are now so accurate that they could even be adapted to the mechanical industry as machine monitoring systems. How do they work? That is what …
Acquiring vibration data is only part of the vibration measurement challenge; the other part is analyzing the resulting data. It is important to understand the types of time courses involved in vibration analysis, the important differences between them, and when it is appropriate to use each type of vibration analysis tool. Here is a brief …

In industry, machine vibrations are common, all working machines vibrate. As a result, there are many systems that deal with their measurement. The range of vibration sensors, otherwise known as accelerometers, is really wide – this is mainly due to the fact that each device has different characteristics, with different sensitivity of accuracy and range …
Equipment vibrations are never something desirable. While they cannot be eliminated, they can at least be reduced. There are many ways to accomplish this – including alignment disks and laser alignment of machines. But when should such alignment be performed? This is the job of vibration diagnostics – it diagnoses the extent of vibration in …
The measurement methods used so far do not allow to easily diagnose the causes of complex problems, especially on new installations and modernized technological nodes. The latest measuring set, using machine displacement amplification technology, has been designed to quickly and easily visualize machine vibrations not visible to the human eye until now. MOTION AMPLIFICATION® The …
