Identifying that a vibration exists is the easy part, determining the cause is another.  Often something is repaired or replaced but the problem soon returns because the true cause of the vibration was never established.   

Typical sources of vibrations are:

• Misalignment
• Shaft or Propeller imbalance
• Broken, damaged or improper engine mounts
• Bearing problems
• Coupling problems
• Gear problems
• Structural Resonance

Vibration Measurements & Analysis 

Marine Vibrations' certified vibration engineers can provide a wide range of testing and measurement services.  These services provide our clientele with diagnostic information for the purposes of minimizing and possibly eliminating vibrations.

 Predictive Maintenance 

Vibration analysis can be used to periodically assess the condition of important and critical machinery, machinery that can range from a fuel separator on a mega yacht to a propeller shaft on a bulk carrier.  By periodically taking a measurement, a fault or problem can be identified before it is physically evident and long before the advent of damage, thus minimizing downtime and repair costs.  Marine Vibrations can work with you in establishing your own predictive maintenance program or we can carry out one for you.
