Early Fault Detection by Vibration Measurement

Early fault detection by using vibration monitoring devices could help industries to avoid sudden stoppage of the machine, thus reduces machine downtime and maintenance cost to save time and money. Early fault detection by using vibration measurement devices are very useful for determining the condition of rotating elements and its analysis. In this paper, experimental studies were performed to predict misalignment faults in rotating machine which is connected with simple rigid coupling. The vibration is collected by using Microlog data collector. From results, we can easily predict misalignment in rotating machine using spectrum analysis technique.
