Fundamental Vibration Analysis

A 60-minute web workshop presented by Christopher R. Keniston, Customer Success Engineer Inc, Commtest

Implementing a Vibration Analysis program can be a considerable investment of time and resources. Realizing a significant Return-on-Investment requires the ability to capture and interpret relevant data, then take appropriate maintenance actions. Therein lies the primary obstacle to success. Regardless of whose products are used, you must understand what the technology is showing you. Our intent is to demonstrate that a fundamental understanding of this technology does not require highly-specialized training or an advanced degree. All one really needs is familiarity with the machine being monitored.

Watch this webinar to learn:

1) Understand fundamental sources of machine vibration.

2) Understand basic terms associated with Vibration Analysis.

3) Recognize several common FFT spectrum vibration signatures.

Detecting Bearing Faults

By Jason Tranter

This article is the first in a series of four. In this article we will provide an overview of how vibration analysis can be used to detect bearing faults. We will only consider the typical failure mode where a spall develops in the bearing and the fault slowly worsens until the bearing ultimately fails. In the next article we will explore how techniques such as enveloping, PeakVue, Shock Pulse, time waveform, and spectrum analysis can be used to detect bearing wear. In future articles we will explore additional fault conditions (cocked bearing, EDM, skidding and other conditions), and in the final article we will examine what the vibration analyst can do to extend the life of the bearing through acceptance testing, correction of unbalance and other conditions, and root cause failure analysis.
