vibration analysis

How does your vibration data collector acquire data? This is an important consideration and can result in unnecessary time spent collecting data in your facility. Most vibration analysts will

Collecting proper bump test data can often feel like an art form rather than being a true science. Lots of information has to be set up before acquisition, resulting in messages such as "signal

When balancing a machine, phase readings should remain relatively stable during the test. Variations of a few degrees are normal, but large jumps or readings that seem to meander around the full

It is important to consider the true long term cost of ownership when purchasing new vibration equipment. Most companies focus on the initial purchase price and not on the long term cost of this

Amplitude modulation is defined as the multiplication of one time-domain signal by another time-domain signal. The signals may or may not be complex in nature, i.e., either or both signals may

In addition to the common "Bump Test" method to determine a system's natural frequency, an analytical technique called "Coastdown" is typically included in most data collector and analyzer

It seems that the majority of analysts today are only comfortable working with linear graphs of the FFT spectrum. This graph displays frequency or orders in the X-axis and amplitude in the
