Equipment rarely fails without first sending signals. The question is, are you looking for the signals? Utilizing an oil analysis program is one of the best ways to find those early indications of equipment failure. This interactive online course will teach you about the importance of instituting an oil analysis program and partnering with the right laboratory. You will also learn how to choose what equipment to sample, what tests to use and how to train your personnel.

Machines that are not maintained can break down overtime and cause significant production delays. Precision alignment and balancing will directly increase asset life and increase the machines’ Mean Time Between Failures. This interactive online course will teach you how alignment and balancing fits into the overall reliability and Asset Condition Management (ACM) Program. You will learn about the technologies used in alignment and balancing procedures. Additionally, you will be presented with sample machinery case histories addressing practical considerations for the alignment and balancing procedures.

Motor testing techniques are critical procedures for industrial machines and should be performed before initial machine production run startup, and/or after any machine rebuild, and/or after any maintenance routine test that indicates a degraded electrical condition. This interactive online course will teach you how motor testing fits into the overall reliability and Asset Condition Management (ACM) Program. You will learn about common testing equipment and procedures. Additionally, you will be presented sample machinery case histories addressing practical considerations for testing industrial electrical motors.

Machines that are degrading over time emit energy in the form of changed vibration patterns. Vibration Monitoring and Analysis can detect that change prior to catastrophic failure of the machine. This interactive online course will teach you about common problems found with vibration monitoring. You will also learn where vibration fits within a reliability program. Additionally, you will be introduced to new applications and technologies used in condition monitoring.

In this interactive online course you will apply the analysis process to diagnose developing bearing problems. We almost have to start with bearings for one very simple reason. Every piece of equipment we’ll analyze – pumps, gearboxes, and all the rest will have at least one bearing somewhere in or near them. Diagnosing bearing problems in different types of equipment will be a fundamental part of your work as a vibration analyst.

For many manufacturing plants, process industries, and utilities fan maintenance is a way of life. In this interactive online course we’ll apply the vibration analysis process to diagnose developing fan problems. And there are two types of fans we’ll examine. First the overhung type, in which the fan element or blade assembly is mounted on the end of a rotating shaft. And second, the center hung type, in which the shaft extends through the element and is supported on both sides.

Analyzing vibration really means interpreting vibration, and nowhere is this point better illustrated than in the analysis of gear boxes. They are literally sealed metal boxes but, with modern equipment, an experienced vibration analyst can almost peer inside the box and evaluate the condition of internal components. That’s what we’ll do in this interactive online course – apply the analysis process to diagnose developing gear box problems. To help get you there we’ll show you how to diagnose a gear mesh problem in a single reduction gear box, a gear mesh problem in a double reduction gear box, a bearing problem in a double reduction gear box and some other common gear problem signatures.

Analyzing motor vibrations should be easy enough – right? After all, the only moving part is the shaft and rotor assembly. Most component equipment: gear boxes, fans, and pumps are most often driven by electric motors. In this course we’ll apply the analysis process to diagnose most developing motor problems. Our case histories will be taken from 2 types of motors: DC motors and AC induction motors.

When you get complaints about vibration in a piece of equipment – do you know what to do? In this interactive online course, you will be introduced to the principles of machine vibration. We’ll examine what machine vibration is. We’ll define some common terms associated with vibration and identify the causes of vibration in different types of machinery, primarily machines with rotating components. We’ll also look at some instruments used to detect vibration. In addition you will receive some guidelines to follow when collecting vibration data.

Do you know the process and procedure for analyzing vibration spectral data? In this interactive online course, we present a critical phase in your applied vibration analysis training. Remember that the goal of this series of courses is for you to learn to diagnosis developing equipment problems by analyzing the vibration spectrum. In this course, you’ll learn a 6-step process for analyzing spectral data. This may be the most important course in the series.

The job of the vibration analyst can be broken into two primary functions, collecting spectral data and analyzing spectral data. In this interactive online course you’ll learn to collect spectral data safely, accurately, and consistently. Everything begins with the data you collect, only it probably won’t be just you. Any number of people might collect data, so consistent procedures and sound fundamentals are essential. To help you develop them we’ll offer some basic guidance for establishing a database. We’ll review some common transducer or probe designs and discuss selecting the right transducer for your equipment. We’ll recommend some safety practices that should become second nature to you. We’ll identify good work practices for collecting data. And we’ll evaluate the amplitude of vibration when you find it.
