Extreme (Days) – Consider shutting down the
equipment and taking repair action now
to avoid catastrophic failure. There is
likely other physical evidence of the
fault in terms of noise, higher bearing
temperatures or visible movement.
Retest the machine within a short
period to confirm finds.
To monitor the condition and degradation of the machine
over time, upload the diagnostic information to the Viewer
Software and track each fault's severity. See "Viewer
Software" section for more details.
How to Diagnose
If the diagnosis shows extreme faults but you do not
sense any visual or thermal indication of the fault, revisit
"Machine Setup" and "How to Measure Vibration." Verify
that you have the correct machine information and
measurements. Several factors can result in poor data
collection and inaccurate diagnoses:
•
Improper speed input
• Improper machine setup
•
Thermal transients
• Improper measurement locations
•
Taking measurements from a machine which is
cycling or surging on and off
