M&B Engineered Solutions - Rotating Machinery Vibration Analysis

Rotating Machinery Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis is a proven tool in effectively managing the operation and maintenance of both critical and balance-of-plant machinery. With our extensive experience diagnosing problems on all types of industrial machinery, M&B can quickly identify machinery problems and provide unbiased recommendations for improved operations & maintenance, regardless of your OEM. M&B utilizes state of the art instrumentation and software to acquire and analyze data for any application, both on-site and via remote connections. Typical rotating machinery problems commonly encountered and easily identified include:
Mechanical and Electrical Unbalance Misalignment & Bearing / Seal Preloads Rotor Resonances & Rotor Bows Bearing wear / degradation Rotor-to-Stator Rubs Fluid Induced Instabilities (oil / seal whirl and whip) Structural resonances / machine interaction Foundation degradation Soft foot Shaft cracks Loose rotating parts Surge, stall, and cavitation Gearbox problems

Integrating vibration information with available process data allows M&B to quickly determine root cause effects and provide our customers with specific recommendations for “Maintenance That Matters”™. Our goal in every trouble-shooting situation is to get your machinery operating acceptably in the shortest and most economical manner, while identifying and eliminating problems that reduce reliability and availability. In many situations M&B is able to immediately correct common machinery problems such as rotor unbalance, shaft misalignment, casing soft-foot and various system problems. This allows machinery to be immediately returned to service. Each project is professionally documented, containing an analysis with pertinent graphics, and providing conclusions and recommendations for improved operation and maintenance. In addition to our on-site field services, we also provide consultation for field commissioning, test stand applications, and shop balancing. We can also act as your independent third-party consultant in factory acceptance testing. If you need assistance or have questions, please contact us.
