Vibration Analysis – CAT I

Course Description

Vibration Analysis CAT I is a Three-days course, the training is the ideal starting place for new vibration analysts, people collecting vibration data, and those who want a better understanding of vibration analysis and condition monitoring.

This course you will learn about:

  • condition monitoring, including a summary of the most common technologies
  • Reliability improvement
  • how vibration analysis plays a key role in reliability improvement
  • How machines work via the supplementary self-study “equipment knowledge” section of the manual
  • the fundamentals of vibration: waveforms, spectra, and simple metrics
  • how to take dependable, repeatable, high-quality vibration readings
  • Vibration sensors, and how and where to mount them
  • the basics of the analysis process, primarily with vibration spectra
  • the basics of the key analyzer settings: fmax, resolution, and averaging
  • the basics of setting alarm limits
  • The common “failure modes” of machines and how to detect them, including rolling element bearing faults, unbalance, misalignment, looseness, and resonance
