Analysis of rotating machines assumes key importance, especially for machines that cause very expensive plant downtime.
When the replacement of a bearing or coupling cannot be carried out during planned downtime, undesired plant downtime may occur.
This is the case, for example, in paper mills, cement works, refineries, chemical plants, and food processing plants. And many more.
Condition monitoring by means of vibration analysis, be it merely by analyzing the average RMS value, the FFT spectrum technique, or with the very advanced SPM HD or HD ENV techniques, can give an indication of the machine status.
The more information available, the more accurate a detailed analysis is possible.
The analysis of the machines with the Shock Pulse method, a method patented by SPM Instrument for several decades, allows us to accurately assess the state of the bearings and the lubrication status, even for very low-speed machines.
