Vibration Analysis 101: Waveforms, Spectrums, and Diagnostic Basics

Summary

As the caretaker of your facility’s machinery health and performance, you hold the reins to ensuring smooth operations. Vibration analysis stands as a potent predictive maintenance tool, shedding light on machine behavior and potential issues. But, are you fully equipped to harness its power to the max?

In our recent Vibration Analysis 101 webinar, we dove deep into the technicalities of applying vibration analysis to your CBM program. We kicked off this series by breaking down the essentials: weighing the benefits and drawbacks of route-based versus online monitoring, understanding how time waveforms translate into actionable data for diagnosing common machine faults, and equipping you with the knowledge needed to embark on your own vibration journey.

Whether you’re a seasoned VA pro or just embarking on this educational journey, Augury’s team of industry experts have got your back.

By predicting when maintenance should be performed in a piece of equipment before it actually fails, we’ve been able to avoid major problems and downtime in our manufacturing operations.

Continuous vibration monitoring is also helping us to learn and have a better understanding of the ‘health’ of our critical equipment.

How AI-Driven Vibration Analysis Enables Higher-Value Maintenance Work

That’s where vibration analysis comes in. The source of a vibration, the direction (vertical, horizontal, or axial), and the vibration intensity can all indicate impending problems. For instance, if a shaft is supported by four bearings and one vibrates differently to the others, that bearing may be headed toward failure. If vibration analysts spot the…
