Defect Diagnosis in Rotors Systems by Vibrations Data Collectors Using Trending Software

Abstract-Vibration measurements have been used to reliably diagnose performance problems in machinery and related mechanical products. A vibration data collector can be used effectively to measure and analyze the machinery vibration content in gearboxes, engines, turbines, fans, compressors, pumps and bearings. Ideally, a machine will have little or no vibration, indicating that the rotating components are appropriately balanced, aligned, and well maintained. Quick analysis and assessment of the vibration content can lead to fault diagnosis and prognosis of a machine’s ability to continue running. The aim of this research used vibration measurements to pinpoint mechanical defects such as (unbalance, misalignment, resonance, and part loosening), consequently diagnosis all necessary process for engineers and technicians who desire to understand the vibration that exists in structures and machines.
