Vibration Analysis for Compressors


Why Measure Vibration?

  • Conditions in a machine that eventually cause breakdown and extensive repairs can be detected by vibration measurements.
  • Every machine has its own distinctive vibrations. These are small when the machine is in good condition, but when mechanical defects develop, these vibrations increase in severity.
  • By measuring these vibrations with the Vibration Analyzer, the specific defects can be pinpointed and the severity of the defect measured. Problems that the Vibration Analyzer is designed to identify include:
    • Unbalance
    • Misalignment
    • Looseness
    • Electrical Problems
    • Defective Bearings
    • Defective Gears.... and many others

What Are The Benefits?

Vibration measurements provide an early warning of future trouble, long before a machine must be shut down for repair.

  • Most problems can be caught and corrected before significant damage occurs.
  • Repairs can be planned to fit work schedules, rather than done on an emergency basis.
  • Problems can be pinpointed while the machine is running, permitting manpower and repair parts to be ready when the machine is shut down.
  • Machines have longer life because defects are detected and corrected before major damage, such as compressor motor burnt out, occurs.
  • Manhours are saved since vibration measurements are easily and quickly made-avoiding open and inspect work and unnecessary overhauls.
