Course overview

All operating machines vibrate. Due to many factors, vibration gets worse with time. Unless it is controlled, vibration causes bearings, and the machines they are part of, to fail. A well-planned vibration program is a vital element of a plant's operational readiness. A plant's vibration program can minimize downtime and repair costs while making the plant safer and more reliable. The Plant Vibration Program training course explains the roles of vibration program components. It describes a typical plant program and discusses how it contributes to operational readiness. This online training course includes vibration data collection equipment, computer-related tools, and workgroup roles and responsibilities. This course is part of the Vibration training series.
