Vibration analysis is a key technology for successful predictive maintenance programs.
In production and process technology each rotating machine has its own vibration signature. Changes in behaviour e.g. caused by unpermissible unbalance or rolling element bearing damage, however, always leave their dynamic fingerprint.
The key to predictive maintenance is the focussed, early detection of damage through vibration analysis to avoid possible machine failure.
Critical plant equipment such as pumps, spindles, compressors, fans, gears and motors can be monitored by vibration analysis.
