Slow speed rotating machinery (typically, less than 300 RPM) is commonplace in many industrial applications, for example; cooling towers, hydro-electric turbines and wind power generation. To ensure this type of machinery and plant is functioning at optimal levels it’s essential to measure vibration, as much as it is a critical requirement for standard speed machinery applications. In all cases the focus should be; understand the dynamic behaviour, establish a baseline vibration performance, and then to detect the early onset of failure in rotating parts which if left un-checked has the potential to result in more serious damage affecting overall performance.
