Course Outline
5 Day Course
- Increase your knowledge on maintenance practices,
condition monitoring, and the common condition
monitoring technologies - Increase your knowledge about data collection, testing
techniques, sensor types, and so on - Learn a great deal about signal processing and the
settings of your vibration analyzer - Increase your knowledge of spectrum analysis, time
waveform analysis, and phase analysis - Understand why phase analysis and time waveform
analysis are both critical tools used by the vibration
analyst - Learn about common failure modes and how to detect
them, including unbalance, misalignment, looseness,
resonance, pump/fan/compressor vane, and flow
issues, cavitation, turbulence, gearbox failures, rolling
element bearing failure, and more - Learn about high-frequency bearing and gear fault
detection techniques: demodulation, enveloping, SPM
HD, shock pulse, PeakVue, Spike Energy, and others - Be able to use spectra, phase readings, time
waveforms, bump and impact tests, to test for
looseness, resonance, and other conditions - Learn about precision shaft alignment and soft foot
correction - Learn about single and two-plane balancing
- Learn the basics of setting alarm limits: band alarms,
and mask/envelope alarms
