Why it is Necessary to Measure Vibration

If your organization deals with heavy and complex machinery, take an initiative to create a predictive maintenance service. Some mechanical issues may appear insignificant and get unnoticed, but those small issues can cause a failure at the most unfortunate times. It's best to have measures in place to identify or avert those problems. One notable aspect of predictive maintenance is vibration analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to measure vibration. Here are some reasons why.

1. Decreases equipment costs

Rather than the replacement of the entire piece of equipment due to critical failure, a repair is done prior to failure, and the cost is minimalized as is the labor required to do the repair.

2. Lessens labor costs

When repairs are planned, the amount of time required to make repairs is reduced because of a smaller number of fundamental replacements rather than an entire equipment replacement. In addition, the frequency of repair for the critical failure of equipment will be minimized and the amount of "critical callouts" will be significantly reduced.

3. Augments safety

Predictive maintenance would allow possible issues to be addressed before a failure happens, which is then much safer for your employees and customers.

4. More efficiency in employee time

Detecting the precise repair task required to correct deficiencies, and the parts, tools, and assistance required to eliminate the problem, can radically increase employee time. So,remember, Motor vibration can easily be measured with the help of appropriate tools.
