Vibration Analyzer

1. Vibration Analysis On Belt and Pulley Misalignment The Shaft Alignment, Belt or Pulley Alignment are very important aspects in machine lifecycle and the production industry houses. When these are carried out properly, it can prevent frequent breakdowns and save the costs of machinery considerably to a great extent. Belt and Pulley alignment are synonymous to each other yet they are represented at a different level of environment. The belt alignment hinges on the correct pulley alignment but it is not the case vice-versa. Belt alignment is responsible in driving the remaining pulleys of the machine with the help of the driver pulley and for this, a perfect belt alignment is very much recommended. The pulley alignment is required at level of grooves that intact contact with the motors of the heavy machines. Both the belt and pulley together drives a Balancing Machine to produce the required output with an effective cost. What Happens When the Alignment Is Altered? Misalignment could be distinguished into three major categories, the first being Vertical misalignment, the second horizontal misalignment, and third is the parallel misalignment. Regardless of the nature of the misalignment, the results would definite bring an increase in the vibration level characterized by a heavy noise. These misalignments could be incurred at the pulley side or at the belt side but the resultant remains the same. Vibration Analysis is a tool that is used for testing and inspecting vibrations and oscillations in machines and its components. These vibration analyzers are used in varied industries like manufacturing production facilities, product development laboratories, construction sites, etc. This analyzer uses the machine’s axis of rotation to have the count of vibrations. If there is any unbalance in rotation and this analyzer captures it, the rotor is exchanged with the machines that have a downtime. Measurements obtained by this analyzer helps in finding out the other parameter of the machine such as the vibration acceleration, velocity and also the vibration displacement. Vibrations should be recorded with a great precision to have the analysis accurately. The measurement Vibration Analyzer and the study of these vibrations can result in the reduction of resonance in the machine. The periodic variations in the vibration level of the belt or pulley misalignment could lead to a friction full rotation of the pulley making the efficiency and productivity go lower, and the machine’s durability could get downgraded and finally the machine ends up in breakdown stage.
