A Hands On Training Approach (191 page reference book)
Highlights:
This reference book provides the basic information on how vibration can be properly used to detect various problems in rotating machines.
Emphasis in the materials is on how to properly collect data so that the information gathered is able to detect fundamental machinery problems.
Everyday measurement pitfalls are explained, along with their effect on machine problem diagnoses and how it is critical to the evaluation of problem severity.
Basic vibration theory is provided along with examples to allow the reader to get hands-on training which is required to fully demonstrate proper data collection.
Database setup is introduced along with the route building, loading and unloading of data collectors.
Simulated data collection is performed in the seminar by each student using a motor demonstrator to clearly illustrate the methods shown.
