Vibration Analysis Sheet
Point
*Dominant Frequency
Before vibration difficulties are reported, accurate vibration readings should be taken and consideration given to the following:
1) How does vibration level at center line of motor
compare to that at motor feet and foundation?
5) Does vibration level change when mounting bolts are loosened
one at a time? Do feet distort when bolts are loosened?
2) Is motor on a fabricated base or grouted in concrete?
3) When power is cut, does the vibration decay
immediately or does it gradually die away?
4) Is there a large shim pack under motor feet?
6) Is motor for coupled or belt-drive use? Is a coupling used on a
long shaft motor? If so, how long is the key and what is the
length of the coupling?
7) Is there a resonant condition in the system which can be
checked by a hammer test?
