Vibration Analysis
This is the predominant technology employed in condition monitoring to determine the condition of various mechanical components and hence be able to make a prediction on service life expectancy and urgency of repairs. It is a non-invasive technique which collects vibration data from machines under normal operating conditions. Vibration readings are typically taken at bearing locations following accepted industry practices and conventions. This raw waveform data is then transformed into a spectral format and analyzed with proprietary software which allows analysis to take place.
