How to read a vibration analysis report

[dharhay]

I received a vibration analysis report on gearmotors from a customer. There are many parameters such as position, direction, location, units, filters, detection. Also a graph .

Is there any available whitepapers or primers out on the net that I could read prior to calling and asking to speak to the technician concerning the results? Thanks.

Just a suggestion, repost this in "Mechanical Acoustics/Vibration engineering Forum" and also if you can post the report, maybe others can comment on what you have.

Hi dharhay,

google "commtest vibration primer" the first result is a downloads page.

On that page there is a beginner's guide.
It will help with most of your questions if I remember correctly.

I'm sure other companies have these as well.

Regards, MM
