VIBRATION ANALYSIS
Vibration Analysis enables you to define the origin and severity of vibration in rotation equipment that resulted from imbalance, misalignment, lack of mechanical stiffness, failures in bearings, defective gearbox, etc. By selecting the appropriate parameters for each type of potential failure mode, it is possible to monitor and take action to increase the equipment's effective life.
It is well-documented that a vibration program, which establishes equipment condition and allows for maintenance maintenance to be scheduled accordingly can save companies up to millions of dollars annually in maintenance cost and expensive unscheduled downtime.
Routine Condition Monitoring
JAGBEN not only supports in-house programs by providing training and remote analysis but offers complete programs as well which are managed entirely by the team.
JAGBEN's expert analysts combine exhaustive in-the-field experience, state-of-the-art technologies, and breadth of knowledge to determine if the vibrational pattern you are witnessing is good, bad, or catastrophic. This allows your company to save millions of dollars annually in maintenance cost and expensive unscheduled downtime.

Rotating Equipment Diagnostics
When a perceived or known defect is present, facility maintenance personnel need additional tools to determine the best course of action. Various analytical tests are typically required to determine the root source of the vibration or reoccuring equipment failure.
Acceptance Testing
In critical equipment repairs and installations, an acceptance test is typically required by the customer. This can be in the form of testing the unit as a whole, place under normal loaded conditions.
The Vibration Monitoring Process
The process begins by identifying critical assets and their effects on production through our custom-designed criticality tool. Based on the equipment identified and the manufacturer's recommended operational parameters, a proper frequency of vibration monitoring can be obtained. Once certified, field technicians will routinely come to your facility to conduct the vibration monitoring to ensure proper data collection.
The vibration monitoring and analysis from the machinery will allow for timely detection and repair of such operational issues and flaws as:
- Failing bearings
- Unbalances
- Misalignments
- Gear problems
- Electrical problems
- Bent shafts
- Looseness
- Impeller problems
- and many other causes
