Application of vibration analysis for the diagnosis of rotating machines

Abstract

By examining the RPM profile, analysts can identify any deviations or anomalies in the vibration patterns at different speeds. This information can help identify potential faults or imbalances within the rotating machinery. For example, unbalanced rotors or misalignment issues may manifest as increased vibration amplitudes at specific speeds. With a comprehensive understanding of the RPM profile, analysts can make informed decisions regarding maintenance and repairs. By identifying the specific speed ranges where vibrations are problematic, they can schedule maintenance activities accordingly. This proactive approach can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
