FAQ - Torsional Vibration

Torsional Vibration

WHAT IS TORSIONAL VIBRATION?

Torsional vibration is a phenomenon that occurs in rotating components.

WHO SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH TORSIONAL VIBRATION?

- Engineers

- Designers

- Analysts

- Managers

- Operators

- Manufacturers

- Anyone involved in the design or operation of rotating machinery systems

WHY SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED WITH TORSIONAL VIBRATION?

Torsional vibrations can cause equipment downtime due to failed couplings, failed dampers, broken shafts, broken gear teeth, worn splines, and shrink-fit slippage. A torsional vibration problem may be indicated by gear noise or coupling wear. However, these are not the only indications there is a problem.

WHEN SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED ABOUT TORSIONAL VIBRATION?

- New System Design

- Changing Current System

- Vibration Noise

- Engine Misfire

- Gear Fatigue

- System Failures
