Why monitor vibration

Monitoring vibration helps prevent costly breakdowns, extends equipment life, and ensures safe,
reliable operations by detecting issues early and enabling proactive maintenance.

The role of vibration analysis in predictive maintenance

Vibration analysis is a predictive maintenance technique and is a key component of a well-designed condition monitoring program. The purpose of predictive maintenance is to reduce maintenance costs and downtime of rotating equipment (motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, etc.) by detecting equipment failures before they happen, resulting in advance warnings of potential machine failure. Unlike preventive maintenance, which is performed according to a pre-defined schedule, predictive maintenance results in maintenance tasks based on machine condition.

We have developed a simple guide to understand vibration and help you learn the basics of vibration analysis. What is vibration, waveform and spectrum; How is complex vibration transformed in a simple spectrum, are some of the questions answered.

Predictive maintenance benefits

  • Reduction or complete elimination of unplanned failures
  • Reduction of scheduled and unscheduled downtime (machine unavailability)
  • Increased equipment lifetime and extension of the operational life
  • Reduction of condition assessment costs
  • Reduction of energy consumption
  • Reduction and potential elimination of collateral damages caused by machine failure
  • Increase in safety and reduction of occupational hazards caused by equipment failures
