Basics of Vibration Analysis & Field Balancing


Vibration Analysis:
This program provides attendees with the basic skills for vibration analysis and will train them to effectively measure and eliminate the unbalance in rotors in operation field conditions.  A classroom setting together with a hands-on environment allows for the perfect combination for learning.

Mechanical vibration is one of the best indicators for evaluating a machine condition.  Accurate vibration analysis can provide the necessary information to identify symptoms, determine the cause of damaged components, and offer a prognosis for the remaining service life of your machine.

Approximately 50% of all vibration problems originate from unbalance.  An unbalance condition imposes a load on the rotor, bearings, and supports of the machine.  Reducing rotor unbalance not only avoids costly downtime, but increases the efficiency and life of the machine.

 

Topics include:

Basics of vibration analysis
  How to use advanced methods of vibration analysis to diagnose rotating machine issues, i.e.:
Unbalance
    Misalignment
    Rolling element bearings
  How to balance machines in the field
  One Plane & Two Plane Field Balancing
Evaluate Balance Quality in accordance with ISO 1940
  Evaluate Machine Vibration in accordance with ISO 10816
  Case studies and applications

Who should attend:

This course is of interest to anyone involved with identifying and correcting faults in rotating machinery including plant managers, maintenance supervisors and field technicians. An engineering degree is not required, but a general working knowledge of machinery and equipment is recommended.
