Condition Monitoring Services

Industrial Condition Monitoring

VibroTech Balancing provides condition monitoring support for rotating machinery by observing machine measurements and identifying changes in operating behaviour. Monitoring can help establish a clearer understanding of machine condition and support maintenance planning before abnormal conditions develop into major equipment problems.

Condition Monitoring Measurements

The monitoring approach can use relevant machine-condition parameters according to the equipment type, operating environment and diagnostic requirement.

• Vibration measurement and trending
• Temperature monitoring
• Machine-speed related condition assessment
• Bearing condition observations
• Trend comparison over time
• Operating-condition based assessment

What Condition Monitoring Can Identify

Changes in monitored parameters can provide early indications of developing machine problems. Interpretation is based on the equipment design, operating condition, measurement location and historical behaviour.

• Increasing vibration levels
• Abnormal temperature changes
• Bearing-related condition changes
• Mechanical looseness or developing faults
• Changes in rotating-equipment behaviour
• Other machine-specific abnormal conditions

VibroTech's Approach

Our approach combines measurement, trend observation and practical rotating-equipment knowledge. Rather than relying on a single reading, machine behaviour can be reviewed over time so that significant changes become easier to identify and investigate.
