The foundation of a machine plays a vitalrole when deciding the vibration levels of installed equipment. Also, a rigid and massive foundation must be required to minimize the background vibration, which can cause problems later when your devices eventually malfunction. Furthermore, it is common for your devices to eventually suffer from some functioning problems due to everyday wear and tear, or even if the machine has been sitting, unused, for a very long time. A less active movement of any device will increase its vibration level due to its mass and stiffness. This process will further result in motor vibration.
You’ll need to make a few essential considerations whenremoving any sort of pump vibration. Following such factors can help you to know how to study your machine better and indulge in an error-free and precise working environment.
• You need to test for an active or flexible foundation: the foundation of the floor in which the machine is placedneeds to be strong enough to handle all sorts of pressure. Furthermore, you need to perform two tests on it to determine whether it is an active or a flexible foundation. This way, you know much about your housing vibration is affecting the output of your devices. You need to perform a vibration test on your machinery’s bearing housing vibration. To do this, measure the background vibration level at the same location used to measure the machinery’s bearing housing.
• You need to check the integrity of the motor mounting bolts: Once you have checked the foundation of the machine, now you need to check the motor mounting bolts You need to check for the recommendations that can solve your vibration problems. If the necessary mountings of the motor are bolted, and you need to check their condition as well.
