Frequently Asked Questions
What faults can vibration analysis detect?
Vibration analysis can identify imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, looseness, resonance, and gear defects in rotating machinery. Early detection allows planned maintenance before a costly breakdown occurs.
Which machines are suitable for vibration analysis?
Any rotating machine can be assessed — including motors, pumps, fans, compressors, gearboxes, and turbines. It is particularly valuable for critical equipment whose failure would cause significant production downtime.
How is vibration data collected?
Our technicians mount calibrated accelerometer sensors at key measurement points on the machine. Data is captured across multiple frequency ranges and analysed using specialist software to identify fault patterns and severity.
