A strong, well managed Vibration Analysis program is essential in order to implement an efficient, cost effective predictive maintenance schedule.
The vibration analysis program will enable you to detect potential problems before they turn into equipment failure and unwanted downtime. Here are some examples:
- Bad Bearings
- Worn Shaft Journals
- Bent Shafts
- Uneven wear on Impeller's Vanes or Fan Blades
- Loose fit between Impeller or Fan Wheel and Shaft
- Unevenly tied adjustable Motor Sheaves
- Uneven Belt Tension
- Misaligned Couplings or Fan Sheaves
- Piping Stress
- Worn, uneven or inadequate Base Isolators
- Loose Fasteners
- Damaged Bases
Once a potential problem is detected and the level of urgency is established, plans can be made to address and resolve it well before it turns into costly equipment failure and much dreaded downtime.

So, the proper Vibration Analysis Program is the foundation for an adequate predictive maintenance schedule which in turn will result in:
- Greatly increased M.T.B.O. (Mean Time Between Overhauls)
- A more cost effective use of maintenance personnel and resources
- Increased Production
- Substantial cost savings
- A great feeling of being in control
