Bearing Vibration Diagnosis

Bearing Vibration Diagnostics – Effective Condition Monitoring of Machinery

Machine reliability starts with monitoring the condition of key components – rolling bearings. Their technical condition directly impacts operational safety, production continuity, and maintenance costs.

What shortens bearing service life?

• insufficient or incorrect lubrication,
• system contamination,
• assembly errors and misalignment,
• dynamic imbalance,
• vibrations transferred from neighboring machines.

Studies show that up to 37% of bearings are replaced too early due to lack of proper condition evaluation. With vibration diagnostics, this uncertainty can be virtually eliminated.

Why use vibration diagnostics?

• early detection of bearing faults,
• reduced number of failures,
• increased production reliability,
• better maintenance planning,
• lower repair and energy costs,
• reduced demand for spare parts,
• lower insurance premiums,
• improved workplace safety.

Our vibration diagnostic services include:

• Machine park analysis – selection of critical machines and measurement points, route planning,
• Measurement – recording vibration velocity, acceleration, and shock pulses,
• Reporting – technical condition reports for each unit,
• Recommendations – immediate action plans and root cause suggestions when anomalies are detected,
• Consulting – technical advice on bearing selection, lubrication, mounting/dismounting, and clearances,
• Diagnostic program planning – defining frequency and number of measurements.

Applications:

• electric motors,
• pumps,
• fans,
• generators,
• gearboxes,
• production lines for paper and printing machinery.
