Overview
Vibration monitoring system, applied in an industrial or maintenance environment aims to reduce maintenance costs and equipment downtime by early detection of the fault. Vibration monitoring system is a key component of condition monitoring program and is often referred to as predictive maintenance of the rotating equipment.
All machines are subject to vibration. For example machine unbalance, misalignment and resonances can cause machines to vibrate above an acceptable level. A rise in vibrations is detrimental to machine health. This results in unexpected machine failure. To avoid this monitoring of vibration is needed.
