    Sumisol Vibration Spectrum Chart

    Uploaded by

    mantosh_bhattacharya
    This chart provides guidance on interpreting vibration spectrum patterns to diagnose common mechanical problems based on the dominant frequencies present. Key things it indicates are: - Imbalances and misalignments can be identified by peaks at 1X, 2X, 3X RPM and their amplitudes and directions. - Gearbox issues show gear mesh frequencies (GMF) and sidebands at GMF +/- RPM. - Bearing problems have characteristic frequencies like ball spin frequencies that appear as non-harmonics. - Electrical motor problems like rotor bars appear as RPM sidebands around pole and rotor bar pass frequencies. - Other problems like pump cavitation make broad band high frequency noises.
