Vibration Analysis

Early recognition and diagnosis of problems relating to operating machinery is cost effective. Failure to identify a small fault can lead to major equipment breakdown. STM Rewinds provides measuring instruments for the key areas of Machine Diagnosis, Field Balancing and Alignment.

Frequency analysis of vibrations provides conclusions to the sources of faults such as the type and the extent of damage of individual machine components. Typical faults that can be identified through frequency analysis include:

• Unbalance
• Misalignment and coupling errors
• Bearing and gearing errors

Machine Diagnosis enables an entire machine to be evaluated, symptoms are recognised through developing damage, failure sources and damaged components are identified.

Unbalance is the most common source of managing faults. Correction of this problem is carried out on site, without major disassembly of the machine, by a single technical operator using one instrument.

All these processes are carried out by one integrated machine, operated by one technical engineer, on site. This procedure can be initialised anywhere in the world.
