Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis is about reducing maintenance costs and improving production up-time.
Eastway provide vibration analysis or ‘condition monitoring’ programmes which involves measuring vibration levels of critical machines on a regular basis in order to:
- Vibration analysis is a proven method of predictive maintenance for all rotating equipment.
- All rotating machines vibrate and the level and pattern of that vibration tell us something about the internal condition of the rotating components.
- Machines with faults that can result in failure will vibrate in characteristic ways and as vibration analysts it is our task to identify these faults and their cause.
- If we measure the vibration, look for patterns and watch for change we can detect a problem early enough to act.
- Establish vibration trends indicating machine condition;
- Highlight machine deterioration and
- Diagnose the fault, before a breakdown occurs.
The programmes are successful in preventing downtime and machine and product damage due to failure.
Vibration Analysis Typical Fault Diagnosis:
- Bearing / Gearbox Defects
- Imbalance
- Alignment
- Lubrication Quality & Deficiency
- Machine and Structural Resonance
