What is Vibration Analysis?

Vibration Analysis is a type of engineering analysis used to detect and diagnose mechanical problems in rotating equipment. It can be used to detect faults such as imbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing wear, gear mesh, and more. Vibration analysis can be used to diagnose problems in pumps, motors, fans, and other rotating machinery that are critical to a plant’s operations.black line drawing icons of machinery including a pump, a motor, a fan, and rotating machinery
Industrial vibration sensors are at the heart of any vibration analysis program. There are many types of sensors, including accelerometers, velocity sensors, eddy current (or proximity) probes, and more that are used to detect the wear and tear of large rotating machinery.
