Vibration Analysis can be used to diagnose

• imbalances, misalignment and looseness
  
• bearing and gear faults
  
• the frequency of structural resonances

Condition Monitoring is the regular collection of vibration data,
analysis and the trending over time

• allows the vibration data to be
  trended and gives a deterioration
  rate as faults develop
  
• gives the ability to set alarm levels
  making it possible to increase the
  number of machines being
  monitored for similar cost
  
• helps identify re-occurring problem
  on machines if they are moved to
  different locations after servicing
