Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis is the interpretation of seismic signals that is produced by a source being excited.
Below are some of the components of rotating equipment that we normally analyze:
- bearings
- pumps
- gearboxes
- grinders
- structural supports
- many other items that vibrate

Our certified analysts then will analyze the data collected
and report the findings in a prompt manner.
Examples of common faults...
Equipment Imbalance
An Imbalance is caused by a mass that is unevenly distributed around a rotating shaft.
The imbalance can be very destructive and possibly cause safety concerns.
We can identify, trend and rectify these issues before they cause unexpected process interruptions.
For more information, check out our BALANCING page.
Machine Alignment
Misalignments are very common and can be serious problems.
They can lead to deterioration of components like bearings and couplings.
We can detect and schedule to rectify these types of misalignments before serious damage to the components.
Rolling Element Bearing Defects
Rolling element bearings can fail for numerous reasons, lack of lubrication, improper installation, manufacturing issues, and many other causes.
Our educated technicians can identify bearing problems at early stages so you can prepare and preform the maintenance to repair or replace before it destroys other mechanical components.
Gearboxes
Gearbox issues can show up in many forms.
We can help you by detecting:
- gear misalignment
- backlash
- cracked/broken teeth
- assembly problems
- other faults before you experience a breakdown.
Fans and Pumps
Hydraulic pumps are inspected for:
- bearing fatigue
- signs of broken/worn vanes
- cavitation
Aerodynamic fans are inspected for:
- bearing fatigue
- imbalance on the fan blades
- broken/bent fan blades
- belt drive problems
