Resonance of machines and structures – That is, how to perform the BUMP TEST without turning off the machine, with the support of negative averaging…. Taking hundreds of measurements, in various industrial plants, it is not uncommon to encounter high levels of vibration, associated with the phenomenon of resonance. This seemingly well-known phenomenon has repeatedly […]

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
