Precision Vibration Analysis & Troubleshooting
At CPM Industrial, our accredited analysts provide full-service machinery vibration testing and expert analysis to help you detect issues early, prevent costly failures, and extend the life of your rotating equipment. We use advanced tools and ISO Category III–certified practices to identify unbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, looseness, and structural resonance before they become critical problems.
Vibration analysis is one of the most effective ways to monitor the health of machinery. By tracking vibration signatures, we can pinpoint the root cause of mechanical distress—reducing unplanned downtime, improving safety, and supporting predictive maintenance strategies that keep your operation running smoothly.
What It Is
Our vibration services are centered on precision machinery diagnostics and condition monitoring. With ISO Category III–certified vibration analysts, we detect issues before they become costly failures. Through vibration testing, trend analysis, and root-cause investigations, we help you optimize reliability, uptime, and safety.
Our Tools & Technology
We leverage industry-leading hardware and software to perform our vibration work, including:
- Bently Nevada – for robust machinery protection and condition monitoring.
- Rockwell Automation Platforms – for integrating vibration sensing into control systems and real-time monitoring.
Calibration & Accuracy
Our vibration instruments are calibrated with NIST-traceable standards, ensuring that measurements are accurate, repeatable, and reliable.
Applications: Industrial + Maritime
- Industrial Machinery: We cover a broad range of rotating equipment; motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, compressors, etc.
- Maritime / Ship / Yacht Vibration Testing: We also specialize in vibration testing for vessels, addressing both nuisance vibration (e.g., desk or structural shaking) and habitability vibration (vibrations in occupied spaces like cabins). Our analyses support compliance with relevant standards and help improve onboard comfort and safety.
Core Services
- Baseline & Routine Vibration Surveys: Establish reference conditions for new or rebuilt equipment; monitor trends over time.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Identify unbalance, misalignment, bearing faults, structural resonance, and other vibration issues.
- Root-Cause Investigations & Corrective Guidance: We don’t just find problems; we recommend actionable fixes.
- Modal Testing & Structural Analysis: We analyze how a structure vibrates, its modes, frequencies, and damping. To diagnose potential resonance or design issues.
- Dynamic Balancing: We balance rotating machinery (both in-place and in-shop) to reduce vibration and extend equipment life. CPM already offers balancing services.
- Training: We offer hands-on training in vibration analysis, interpreting data, and condition-monitoring best practices.
- Vibration Sensor / System Sales & Installation: We sell, install, and commission vibration sensors, condition-monitoring hardware, and software systems tailored to your needs.
Why It Matters
Machine vibration is a powerful indicator of underlying problems. By monitoring it proactively with calibrated tools and expert analysis, we help clients avoid unexpected failures, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the life of critical equipment. In maritime environments, controlling both nuisance and habitability vibration improves comfort and ensures compliance.
Why CPM Industrial
Since 2009, our team has been helping industrial clients improve reliability through precision measurement and detailed analysis. We combine technical expertise with years of field experience, a commitment to safety. Every report we deliver includes specific, targeted recommendations, not just data, so you can make confident maintenance decisions.
