Vibration Analysis
Mechanical vibration records provide valuable detail on the health of rotating equipment. Reliability Concepts state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostic techniques predict problems well in advance of breakdown, reducing unexpected downtime and repair costs. This approach improves equipment reliability, while eliminating the stress associated with obsolescent reactive maintenance programs.
Reliability Concepts performs vibration analysis in applications including machinery vibration and condition monitoring. Our personnel are accustomed to evaluating rotating equipment in both land-based and marine applications. If you have a service requirement for machinery vibration testing, contact us so we can quickly resolve your problems and put your plan back on a path of profitability. There are many benefits for using Reliability Concepts for your vibration analysis needs that will save you time and money, including:
- Early Problem Detection
- Ability to schedule maintenance
- Reliable equipment
- Reduce production/ downtime costs
- Diminish large scale repairs/ failures
Vibration is essentially the heartbeat of all mechanical equipment. Capturing this vibration in a number of different forms allows analysts to diagnose equipment ailments, such as worn bearings or imbalance, by measuring the amplitude and frequency of the vibration. With this knowledge, customers can prevent equipment problems before they affect production.
Our analysis is also useful on structures for identifying natural or modal effect frequencies necessary for specifying structural modifications. For equipment sensitive to external vibration, we also identify transmission paths for effective isolation. Where applicable, VSC designs vibration absorbers or other practical methods to attenuate problems. There is no reason to tolerate mediocre equipment performance. Our analysis tools accurately clarify the source and severity of every impasse so production remains on schedule.
Alignment
Precision alignments insure that the driver and driven parts of every machine work in unison. Often, different machinery elements fight each other across the coupling, creating an enormous inefficiency. As a result, productivity falls while energy requirements increase. In addition, the machine’s components encounter accelerated wear, diminishing life expectancy and increasing operational costs.
There are numerous advantages for using Reliability Concepts for your alignment needs including, giving your machinery a longer life expectancy, saving on energy and maintenance costs, and most importantly increasing equipment uptime and decreasing unscheduled downtime.
Reliability Concepts resolves mechanical inefficiencies by employing a number of alignment techniques, including laser, optical, strain gauge, and dial indicator. We ensure precision alignments for the most complex conditions, leaving you with efficient and reliable equipment.
Balancing
Reliability Concepts also specializes in balancing, some of the advantages to using our balancing services include, less damage and wear to bearings, shafts and rotors. A reduction in energy use and costs, fewer machinery breakdowns and production loss, extended bearing and equipment life and more efficiently operating machinery.
Training
Reliability Concepts provides expert training in vibration analysis and predictive maintenance, including diagnostics, balancing and alignment. We also train in software analyzer. The courses are held at your facility and are specifically tailored to your needs.
Predictive Maintenance
Reliability Concepts provides preventative and predictive maintenance services to a variety of industries. We focus on helping our customers to reduce unnecessary maintenance related costs by identifying potential problems. RC uses the latest technology and computer analysis to identify faults before a breakdown. Utilizing our predictive maintenance program can greatly diminish large scale repairs and costly damage. Our program can also increase operational uptime and revenue, reduce operational and labor costs, accurately identify equipment problems, and improve equipment reliability.
All machinery produces vibration, but it is necessary to distinguish whether it is benign or harmful, and when used in conjunction with oil analysis and ultrasonic testing, periodic monitoring programs identify problems and forecast future ones. Our reports have detailed analysis and simple recommendations for correcting problems before failure occurs.
Lube Oil Analysis
Reliability Concepts uses the services of rebutable laboratories and wants to ensure that your machines lubricant is in a healthy condition. Lubrication analysis is essential for maximizing the life of a machine and its parts. By carrying out a detailed analysis of lubricants wear and contamination problems can be detected at an early stage before major damage takes place. Lubrication analysis should be an important part of a condition based maintenance program.
Machinery Diagnostics
Reliability Concepts specializes in advanced Diagnostic Services, both on-site and remotely, on Motors, Fans, Hydraulics, Gear, Power Transmission, Conveyor and Compressor systems. We also offer assistance in System Design.
R/C reports provide detailed observations with straight forward explanations and recommended actions for machinery of concern. Digital images of specific components and relevant graphical information are provided and discussed with plant personnel. Remote diagnostics of data collected by plant personnel can also be provided.
