Vibration Analysis For Predictive Maintenance
Unwanted vibration can cause a variety of issues to your equipment including balancing issues, equipment failures, pump cavitation, alignment, as well as bearing and gear wear. Vibration analysis is used to determine these developing problems to prevent equipment downtime and possible failure.
Vibe.FX Provides Vibration Analysis To Detect The Following Issues:
- Unbalance
- Bearing Failures
- Mechanical Looseness
- Misalignment
- Resonance and natural frequencies
- Electrical motor faults
- Bent shafts
- Gearbox failures
- Cavitation
- Critical speeds
When done properly vibration analysis allows for preventative maintenance of rotating equipment during normal maintenance shutdowns. Vibration Analysis involves the interpretation of vibrational frequencies in rotating equipment.

Vibration Analysis and Motion Amplification
We pioneered utilizing RDI Technologies’ motion amplification software in western Canada – this technology allows us to quickly and easily see and measure your equipment’s deflection, displacement, movement, and vibration. This visualization technology aids in vibration analysis, allowing us to see what we physically cannot see with our eyes. Using motion amplification, we can create an actual video – not just a model – of your equipment to see the subtleties in its bends, twists, and shakes and diagnose the problem quickly and accurately.
Typical Vibration Analysis In-Plant Scenario
Plant Services provides an example of a pump and motor unit with high vertical frequencies at one end and high axial(horizontal) readings at the other. Causes of these vibrations can be from alignment, or even a poor bond on the sole plate allowing the motor to lift. These issues can lead to many hours of downtime or permanent equipment damage.
