The Vibration Analyst course is intended for personnel who are new to vibration monitoring and analysis, and for personnel who have limited vibration analysis experience. The course focuses on periodic, single-channel data collection and analysis for condition-based maintenance programs. A foundation is established for a comprehensive understanding of spectrum and waveform relationships.
Maintenance practices
- Breakdown, preventive, predictive and RCM Condition monitoring
- Review of condition monitoring technologies: Vibration, oil, wear particle, infrared, acoustic emission, electric motor testing
Principles of vibration
- Motion, r.m.s./peak/peak-peak, frequency/period
- Displacement, velocity and acceleration
- Units and unit conversion
- Waveform and spectrum (FFT)
- Natural frequencies and generated frequencies
- Basic forcing frequency calculations
Data acquisition
- Transducers and transducer mounting
- Measurement point naming conventions
- Routes/surveys: Loading and unloading the route
- Following a route
- Repeatable data collection
- Test procedures
- Observations: best utilizing your time in the field
- Recognizing bad data
Equipment knowledge
- Rotating equipment types and applications
- Rolling element bearings and journal bearings
- Review of failure modes and appropriate use
- Condition monitoring technologies
Basic vibration analysis
- Overall level measurements
- Spectrum analysis
- Harmonics, sidebands and the analysis process
- Alarm limits, trending and exception reports
Fault diagnosis
- Imbalance, misalignment, looseness
- eccentricity, resonance
- Defects associated with bearings, gears, belts, electric motors
