Predictive Maintenance & Fault Diagnosis
ABOUTUS
Bearings, gears and rotating shafts announce their failure in vibration long before they announce it in downtime. A handheld vibration meter, read on a schedule, is the cheapest early-warning system a maintenance team can own.
Running speed frequency — the classic signature of a simple mass imbalance
Running speed frequency — commonly seen with shaft misalignment
Bearing and gear-mesh defects generate energy well above running speed — acceleration and spectrum analysis catch them first
-
Step 1 Define the RouteList every critical asset, and a consistent measurement point on each — the same location and orientation every time. -
Step 2 BaselineTake a first reading while the machine is known to be healthy; this is what every later reading gets compared against. -
Step 3 Re-Measure & TrendRepeat on a fixed interval, switching parameter as needed, and watch for a rising trend rather than reacting to one reading. -
Step 4 Diagnose & ScheduleOnce a trend is confirmed, use spectrum analysis to identify the likely fault and schedule the repair before it becomes a failure.

Routine Condition Monitoring
Scheduled rounds on motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes — switching between acceleration, velocity and displacement to track overall condition against a healthy baseline.

Precision Fault Diagnosis
When a machine needs a closer look — a weak, early-stage bearing signature or a high-frequency fault a general-purpose meter might miss — a wider dynamic range and higher-sensitivity sensor tell the difference.

Hand-Arm Vibration Exposure
Maintenance staff using grinders, impact wrenches or other vibrating hand tools during repair work are exposed to hand-transmitted vibration in their own right — worth tracking against occupational exposure guidance.

Environmental & Whole-Body Vibration
Vibration from operating machinery can travel into floors, control rooms and nearby structures. Where that's a comfort, structural or regulatory concern, it needs its own environmental-grade measurement.

Common Questions About Vibration-Based Predictive Maintenance
-
-
1. What's the difference between YT3001A and YT3001B?
-
2. Which parameter should I trust — acceleration, velocity or displacement?
-
3. Do I need a hand-arm vibration meter if I'm only monitoring machinery condition?
