THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MACHINERY VIBRATION LEVELS AND MACHINERY DETERIORATION AND FAILURES

The paper proposes the use of periodic vibration monitoring as a diagnostic maintenance tool. For a small initial investment, the monitoring program will provide in most cases an early warning of impending equipment failure. Vibratory frequency is used to determine the nature of a malfunction, while the amplitude history indicates the seriousness of the problem. This information is useful in determining when to overhaul a machinery item and how extensive the overhaul should be.
