Excessive vibration accelerates wear and causes failures across the machine. Identifying the source early prevents a minor issue becoming a rebuild.
Common Causes
- Worn or failing bearings.
- Misaligned drive coupling or belts.
- Loose mounting bolts or degraded anti-vibration pads.
Diagnosis
- Compare vibration levels across the machine.
- Listen for bearing noise and check alignment.
- Inspect mounts and foundations.
Solutions
- Tighten mounts and replace worn pads.
- Realign the drive and balance rotating parts.
- Schedule bearing replacement before failure.
When should I worry about vibration?
Any sudden increase or a new rhythmic vibration should be checked, as it usually signals developing bearing or alignment problems.
