Why Is My Machine Vibrating? Diagnosis Wizard

Choose your equipment and the symptoms you observe. The wizard ranks likely causes using rules drawn from field experience. A firm diagnosis needs on-site measurement.

    These tools are intended for preliminary assessment and training. Decisions on critical equipment should be based on on-site measurement and expert evaluation.

    How to use

    1. Choose an answer for each question; pick "Not sure" where you do not know.

    2. The list on the right is ordered by match score; the top two are usually what a measurement checks first.

    3. The "Request a quote with this result" button carries your answers into the contact form.

    Theory & formulas

    The wizard uses a simple rule table that scores known links between symptoms and faults. For example, dominant axial vibration points to misalignment and a peak at one speed points to resonance.

    Scores are not probabilities; they set the order in which to start measuring. A firm diagnosis comes from spectrum, phase and, where needed, envelope analysis.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does the wizard give a firm diagnosis?

    No. It ranks likely causes from symptoms. Several faults can produce the same symptom, so a firm diagnosis needs vibration measurement.
