What We Offer
Comprehensive Vibration Analysis for Your Oregon-Based Operations
Every rotating machine generates a unique vibration signature. When those vibrations deviate from the norm, it signals an underlying issue. Our services focus on diagnosing and addressing these anomalies through advanced techniques, tailored to the needs of Oregon’s diverse industries.
Detect and Address Key Issues:
- Misalignment: Irregular vibration patterns caused by misaligned shafts or couplings, leading to premature wear.
- Imbalance: Uneven weight distribution in rotating components causing accelerated wear and tear.
- Bearing Damage: Identifying early-stage bearing defects to prevent costly replacements.
- Critical Speeds: Operating at harmful frequencies that amplify vibrations and damage components.
- Gearbox and Motor Faults: Analyzing distinct signatures from worn gears and electrical motor issues.
- Cavitation in Pumps: Diagnosing damage caused by vapor bubbles in pump systems.
Our Process: Your Roadmap to Reliability
- Initial Assessment: Our experts assess your machinery under normal operating conditions, placing sensors on key components to capture real-time vibration data.
- Data Collection: We gather vibration measurements across multiple planes—horizontal, vertical, and axial—to ensure a comprehensive understanding of equipment performance.
- Analysis & Diagnosis: Using advanced tools, we perform spectral analysis to isolate faults and pinpoint root causes.
- Actionable Insights: You receive a detailed report with clear recommendations for corrective actions, including alignment adjustments, balance corrections, or component replacements.
- Follow-Up Testing: We verify the effectiveness of corrective measures to ensure your equipment operates smoothly and efficiently.
