Predictive Maintenance ProgramsFor many Vibtech clients, the most powerful and cost effective approach to Vibration Analysis is through a Predictive Maintenance Program. The Objectives of a Predictive Maintenance Program include:
Under such a program, the severity of vibration readings becomes secondary to the rate of change … it is as important to know how a machine is changing over time as it is to know whether or not a given reading is over or under alarm points. For example, a machine’s bearing vibrations may be in ranges which, by themselves, would indicate that it needs immediate replacing. However, when viewed over time, the vibration levels may be changing very slowly and the repair can be more conveniently scheduled. Conversely, readings which are barely in alarm may not seem to be of concern, but the rate of deterioration may indicate that replacement should be made immediately. All successful Predictive Maintenance Programs have these critical elements:
