Rotating Machinery Testing for High-Speed Performance and Dynamic Reliability 

High-resolution RPM-based vibration analysis and order tracking for turbines, compressors, pumps, motors and rotating assemblies.

Rotating machinery testing requires precise RPM tracking, order analysis and vibration interpretation to ensure reliability and prevent failures. Our solution supports rotational vibration, torsional vibration, orbit analysis, FFT spectrum analysis, sound power and sound intensity measurement. With flexible RPM extraction—tacho-based or tacho-free—alongside order tracking, Campbell plots, waterfall charts and spectrograms, engineers gain deep insight into machine behaviour and long-term performance trends.

Not all test benches allow installation of a tachometer, making accurate rotational speed acquisition difficult and limiting order-based diagnostics.

With the Tacho Fit Wizard, users can derive RPM without any physical tacho input, attaching calculated speed profiles directly to the data stream for reliable rotational vibration and order analysis.

Choosing the ideal frequency resolution, order bandwidth or filter characteristics often requires several repeat tests.

Our platform allows complete post-processing refinement of analysis parameters, enabling engineers to optimize order tracking, RPM spectral maps and FFT results without repeating measurements.

Understanding how vibration behaviour evolves with increasing RPM is difficult without strong visualization tools.

Frequency-order tracking generates intuitive waterfall and Campbell plots, clearly showing how frequencies, orders and rotational speed interact—ideal for diagnostics, development and reporting.

Noisy, irregular or unstable pulse trains degrade RPM determination and distort order analysis.

Our platform processes laser-based rotational inputs with precise pulse-to-pulse timing, ensuring stable RPM extraction for accurate order tracking, rotational vibration interpretation and RPM-synchronous averaging.

Traditional FFT displays cannot reveal shaft centreline motion, making it difficult to diagnose misalignment or instability.

Orbit analysis provides clear visualization of shaft and bearing behaviour using dual-axis displacement or velocity signals, supporting diagnostics of pumps, motors, compressors and turbomachinery.

Facilities with multiple machines require central visibility and rapid detection of abnormal behaviour during operation.

Central monitoring provides real-time insight into RPM, vibration levels and machine status, helping engineering teams identify issues early and maintain high test efficiency across all rigs.

Unbalance is a major driver of excessive vibration and must be corrected efficiently to extend equipment lifetime and avoid downtime.

Our platform supports single- and multi-plane balancing with order-based correction, enabling fast, precise optimization of rotating machinery performance under real operating conditions.
