Vibration Analysis

Vibration analysis is used to help monitor changes caused by imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and many other faults that need early detection in order to prevent equipment failures. Six cost benefits associated with vibration analysis include:

1. Minimizes equipment costs – early detection of faulty components allows time for servicing and repair and helps avoid the need for replacement of an entire system
2. Minimizes labor costs – annual Preventive Maintenance (PM) Inspections and vibration analysis reduces the time and frequency needed for scheduled repairs, and minimizes the overall necessary labor costs
3. Reduces lost production time – component repairs, replacement, and servicing can be completed during schedule downtime and reduces the risk for equipment shutdowns, which may cost thousands of dollars per hour
4. Increases safety – PM Inspections and vibration analysis will be performed by Ship & Shore trained technicians, reducing the amount of plant managers needed to troubleshoot, and increasing overall employee safety
5. Increases revenue – repairs, replacements, and services can be more efficiently handled with annual PM Inspections and consistent vibration analysis. This reduces costs and naturally increases revenue
6. Increases efficiency – equipment will run at optimum quality and efficiency, without the need for additional employee support, with scheduled maintenance
