The benefits of a vibration testing program are well known, but far too many plants choose to avoid vibration testing because of the perceived complexity. In a predictive maintenance program, both frequency spectrum analysis and overall vibration analysis should be used to identify machinery flaws early so that corrective action can be taken prior to machine failure.
