Pump Coupling Misalignment - Wear on Coupling Rubber
Vibration measurement frequency is crucial for equipment reliability. Increasing measurement frequency for critical equipment allows for early detection of malfunctions, preventing potential production losses.
The Importance of Vibration Measurement Frequency and Application Example
Vibration measurement frequency within the scope of reliability studies plays a critical role in the healthy and continuous operation of equipment.
You can determine your vibration measurement frequency according to the equipment criticality analysis to be performed in your facility. In order to detect malfunctions in your critical equipment early, you should increase your measurement frequency or follow it online.
As seen in the example, as a result of vibration measurements and analyses, no malfunction was detected in the pump, but coupling misalignment was detected with rising vibration values in the next week. During the controls, wear was observed on the coupling rubber.
Thus, a possible loss of production is prevented by intervening in a serious malfunction that may occur in the equipment in a timely manner.
