Pump vibration analysis

Pump vibration analysis A vibration analysis of a positive displacement pump shows a predominant vibration reading at a frequency of 1x the rotational speed of the pump. There is a phase shift of 180º between axial readings taken in the same direction on the drive and non-drive ends of the pump. What would you suspect […]
