“HOW DOES UNCHECKED VIBRATION IN MY ROTATING MACHINERY INCREASE THE RISKS I FACE?”
With over 35 years of engineering excellence, Webb-Elec is here to help your business overcome these challenges. Within our Dynamic Balancing Department, our specialist vibration monitoring equipment analyses and categorises vibration levels depending on their intensity. We then use our industry experience to determine whether the vibration sits within a safe level or poses a risk to the health of your equipment and operational efficiency.
“BUT WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSES VIBRATION IN MY MACHINERY?”
- Misalignment or imbalance of the fan or impeller itself, often due to incorrect reassembly after servicing or thermal expansion;
- Stretching and deterioration of drive belts which have exceeded operational life;
- Loose bearings, with bearing housings often becoming critically damaged as a result;
- Incorrect, inadequate, or loose foot or flange mounting to neighbouring equipment and structures;
- General unchecked wear to gears and other internal components;
- Issues with soft starters, and other electrical and electronic faults.
After diagnosing the root cause of your vibration issues, which are often bespoke from client to client, our Dynamic Balancing Department can tackle the problem head-on and return your equipment to safer, more productive, longer lasting and more economical operation. For more serious issues, our repair department can remove your equipment and fully rebuild it in our workshop for full peace of mind and our usual 24 hour support.
