Preventing Equipment Failures with Vibration Analysis
In my 30 years of experience working in marine and industrial environments, I’ve seen how small vibration issues can quietly grow into major equipment failures. A slightly unbalanced shaft or a bearing beginning to wear may not seem urgent at first—but left unchecked, these small issues can cause costly downtime and recurring breakdowns.
In an article originally published by New Equipment Digest, I share how vibration analysis provides a proactive way to catch problems before they escalate. By tracking vibration patterns, we can identify hidden causes of wear, guide smarter design and installation decisions, and extend the life of critical equipment.
Taking a preventive approach doesn’t just reduce failures, it improves safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
