Vibration

Global Maintenance Technologies is committed to delivering a "best of breed" vibration analysis system to our clients by using the most advanced equipment available delivered by fully qualified engineers. The evaluation of the changes in vibration response, critical speeds and stability of a machine, has become an important part of most maintenance programs.
Using vibration analysis on rotating machinery enables the early detection of faults before failure. This analysis will help you conduct a detailed assessment of your rotating plant and form the basis for improvement to deliver effective cost savings. The aim therefore, is to evaluate machine condition for weaknesses, thus enabling the early diagnosis of faults. This in turn allows repairs to be planned and performed economically.
Deliverables:
- Initial audit & benchmarking
- Measure, vibration, bearing condition, RPM, motor performance
- Routine monitoring plans
- Wear detection of rolling element and plain bearings.
- Diagnosis and correction of machinery imbalance and misalignment.
- Detection of gear tooth problems.
- Diagnosis of electric motor rotor defects.
- Early detection of coupling defects.
- Diagnosis of pump problems, such as cavitation.
- General trouble shooting of rotating machinery problems.
- Predict failure
- Improve performance
There are literally hundreds of specific problems that can cause a machine to exhibit excessive vibration. To locate the root cause of vibration an analysis of the vibration is required. The forces that cause vibration are usually generated through the rotating motion of the machine’s parts or electrical supply frequency. When a fault condition occurs the problem will exhibit characteristics that are directly related to these frequencies.
We will prepare a comprehensive report detailing the vibration analysis findings in both hard copy and CD-ROM, including the benchmark scores and practical recommendations for future improvement.
Vibration Analysis as part of a full survey can help make high maintenance a thing of the past!!
