VIBROPORT 80 Early fault detection for preventing machine damage Uncorrected faults on bearings, gears, shafts and couplings can lead to machine degradation and catastrophic failure. Vibration analysis with the VIBROPORT 80 Analyzer Select package enables you to detect developing faults at an early stage, diagnose the cause and trend these, so maintenance can be planned ahead time without risking degradation and machine failure. Characteristic values The overall condition of a machine and its bearings can be evaluated by means of characteristic values that can then be compared with limit values...

VIBROPORT 80 ? Portable fault detection, analyzer, balancer-5

VIBROPORT 80 Field balancing of rotors A significant proportion of all machine faults can be attributed to unbalance of rotors. Although rotors are, as a rule, built into the machine precisely balanced after the manufacturing process, unbalance can result because of mounting tolerances and the residual unbalance of components over a period of time. These machines can be effectively balanced onsite. relies on the resonance of the accelerometer as a carrier frequency while the SED analysis depends upon structural resonance. The two newcomer packages, Analyzer Select and Balancer Select support...

SCREEN DISPLAYS Main menu Overalls with predefined measurement tasks VIBROPORT 80 In time with the machine Modal analysis determines the natural frequencies, i.e. resonances of machines. For optimal operation of a machine, it is important to avoid (or minimize the duration) with coincidence between the rotational speed frequency and the structural resonance frequencies. This will minimize excessively high vibrational loads during the run up, coast down or steady-state operation of the machine. These critical frequencies can be determined by two different methods: rotational excitation or impact...
