What Is Vibration Analysis?
Vibration analysis is a predictive maintenance technique used to assess the health of rotating machines. Wear, imbalance, and bearing failures in motors, pumps, and compressors are detected early through vibration measurements.
How Does Vibration Analysis Work?
Vibration sensors (accelerometers) measure the horizontal, vertical, and axial vibrations of machines. The collected data is subjected to frequency analysis (FFT - Fast Fourier Transform) to identify characteristic frequencies. Each fault type (bearing damage, imbalance, looseness, misalignment) has its own unique frequency signature. Trend analysis tracks the progression of the fault.
