Gearbox inspection using RVI and vibration analysis in an industrial environment

Vibration Analysis and Gearbox Inspection for Wind, Maritime and Industrial Applications

Vibration Analysis for Predictive Maintenance

Vibration analysis is a key part of predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. It helps detect mechanical problems at an early stage and provides valuable insights into how your assets perform during operation.

All types of rotating equipment can be monitored using vibration measurements including pumps, gearboxes, electric motors, and fans.<br><br>

Vibration analysis and gearbox inspection play a crucial role in detecting early‑stage mechanical issues in pumps, gearboxes, electric motors and fans, ensuring reliable operation across all types of rotating equipment.

There are two main categories of bearings: sleeve/plain/journal bearings and roller bearings.
Accelerometer measurements provide a clear understanding of the condition of roller bearings, while displacement measurements are ideal for sleeve/plain/journal bearings.

This page explains how vibration analysis gearbox inspection supports predictive maintenance across wind, maritime and industrial applications.

Vibration Analysis and Gearbox Inspection Explained

This section explains how vibration analysis and gearbox inspection techniques are applied across different types of rotating equipment.

Benefits of Vibration Monitoring

• Reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs
