Vibration Diagnostic Fundamentals Online Presentation

The presentation on vibration diagnostic fundamentals introduces students to the basics of vibration diagnostics. The course material explains the fundamental concepts related to vibration measurement, elaborates in detail on the rules that must be strictly followed during measurements, and warns about pitfalls.

It provides information on the proper evaluation of vibration data measured with a simple handheld instrument, up to the professional analysis of vibration spectra. It extensively discusses the vibration characteristics of the most common faults, thoroughly covers topics such as detecting bearing faults, motor defects, balancing, and shaft alignment.

Topics of the Presentation

• Physical fundamentals - theoretical introduction
• Machine condition assessment with vibration level measurement
• Determination of rolling bearing condition with vibration acceleration measurement
• Vibration Diagnostic Based on Spectrum Analysis - Imbalance, Bent Shaft - Loose Machine Elements, Mechanical Play - Resonances, Belt (and Chain) Drive Faults - Shaft Alignment and Coupling Faults - Ball and Roller Bearings - Gear Drives, Electric Motor Defects (basics) - Blade Wheels, Fan (and Small Turbine) Issues

Content of the Video Camera Demonstration

• Practical vibration level measurement and conclusions that can be drawn from the results
• Application of vibration diagnostic based on spectrum analysis
