Vibration of centrifugal pumps
Thread Content
What are the main causes of the vibration levels of centrifugal pumps, as well as the vertical vibration? What impact does a vibration level of 9.5 have on the long-term operation of the equipment?
Vibrations at 9.5 will definitely be too much for the equipment; it cannot operate for long periods of time
The main reason is that the bearing is damaged; your 9.5 vibration level will affect the lifespan of the equipment
Our current pump needs to run for long periods of time for other reasons; what kind of damage might such prolonged operation cause to the equipment?
The shaft is damaged, the impeller breaks off and flies out, causing injuries to personnel as well as damage to nearby equipment; the production line comes to a halt.
