Vibration of mechanical equipment can cause excessive wear on bearings, cracking of casings, loosening and breaking of fasteners and electronic malfunctions. It can also be indicators of developing problems. Even minor vibrations can predict future problems. Correct reading of the vibration and proper diagnosis of the problem, when present, can prevent cumulative problems leading to equipment failure and costly down time.
Not all vibration is bad and the source and cause of the vibration is not always apparent from visual inspection. Using a highly sensitive noise and vibration analyzer, a skilled and knowledgeable operator can pin point problems and make the best recommendations.
Proactive technicians combine their understanding of physics and mechanical engineering while utilizing data collected from the most advanced vibration testing technology equipment.
