Vibration Analysis
Identify faults early to reduce maintenance spend
Vibration Analysis
Wired or wireless Accelerometers are used to collect vibration readings which are analysed by software systems. Vibration levels & frequencies of machines and structures are analysed to detect otherwise imperceptible anomalies. Algorithms are used to identify faults early enough for maintenance teams to take remedial action before those faults develop to become failures.
Our philosophy with Vibration Analysis is that “undetected failures are not an option”.
Vibration Analysis allows us to detect >80% of rotating equipment faults. Other techniques like oil analysis, ultrasound and Thermal Imaging are used to complement Vibration Analysis where they are best suited to certain failure modes.
A well managed Condition Monitoring Program ROI is typically between 5 & 7 times!
Route Based VA
Our Vibration Consultants use the excellent Wiser 3X Triaxial Accelerometer and DigiVibe Analysis Software to provide a fast and accurate service.
- Standard or tailor made reporting

- The data is always owned by our clients
- National coverage
- Rapid response for troubleshooting and investigative work
Online Systems Installation
Design, installation and full commissioning of Erbessd-Instruments Phantom wireless monitoring systems.
Used alongside or instead of route based data collection, wireless monutoring systems are used to constantly monitor the health of critical or hard-to-get-to machinery.

Professional application of Vibration Analysis will identify the majority of machine faults:
Imbalance
Bearing failures
Mechanical looseness
Resonance and natural frequencies
Misalignment
Electrical motor faults
Bent shafts
Gearbox failures
Critical speeds
Empty space or bubbles (cavitation) in pumps
