Abstract: The success of a company often depends on the continued, safe and productive operation of rotating machinery. An effective maintenance program is vital to this kind of success. The quality of company’s maintenance program determines how long the machines will run, how safe they are for the people working around them, and how productive the machine will be. Berar these things in mind while you consider the following benefits of a CBM program in greater detail. The operation and maintenance of high valuable machines is very important in increasingly stiff global market and requires that it provides maximum return on investment with minimum maintenance costs. Improving plant efficiency by implementation of latest techniques in maintenance can lead to significant savings with improvement in overall operating efficiency of plants. This project brings outs the importance of vibration analyzing in maintaining the machines. The vibration analysis can be simplified and make time saving by analyzing the FFT (Fast Fourier transform) or amplitude vs. frequency spectrum. By analyzing the spectrum, we can estimate the cause of vibrations in the machine.
