Review of Condition monitoring technologies

Vibration, oil, wear debris analysis, infrared thermography, ultrasonic acoustic emission, electric motor testing 

Principles of vibration

• Complete review of basics 
• Waveform and spectrum (FFT), phase and orbits 
• Understanding signals

Data acquisition

• Transducers types, selection and mounting 
• Measurement point selection 
• Following routes, test planning, measurement errors 

Signal processing

• Filters, sampling, aliasing, dynamic range, windowing
• Resolution, Fmax, data collection time, averaging

Vibration analysis

• Spectrum analysis methodology
• Introduction to time waveform, phase and orbit analysis
• Enveloping, shock pulse, spike energy, Peak Vue™

Detailed fault analysis

• Natural frequencies and resonances 
• Imbalance, eccentricity and bent shaft 
• Misalignment, cocked bearing and soft foot 
• Mechanical looseness 
• Rolling element bearing analysis 
• Analysis of induction motors, gears, belts, pumps, compressors, and fans 
• Lots of case studies and exercises for participants

Equipment testing and diagnostics

• Impact testing (bump tests) 
• • Phase analysis 

Corrective action

• General maintenance repair activities 
• • Review of the balancing and shaft alignment process 

Successful condition monitoring program

• • Setting baselines and alarm limits 
• • Report generation, reporting success stories 

Acceptance testing and ISO standard
