Overview

Monitors normal, low frequency machine

vibration.
Detects rotational and structural problems
like imbalance, misalignment, and
mechanical looseness.

Long-term goal
can be defined as collecting information from machines as
they operate to aid in making decisions about their
health, repair and possible improvements in order to
reach maximum runability, before any unplanned
breakdown.

Horizontal - Typically, unbalanced shafts

tend to cause excess radial (horizontal and
vertical) vibrations, depending on the
machine support design.
Vertical - Excessive vertical vibration can
indicate mechanical looseness as well as
imbalance.
Axial - Excessive axial vibration is a strong
indicator of misalignment.
