Abstract
This study delves into investigating various aspects of machinery performance and vibration analysis through experimental simulations using the Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS). It examines the influence of different masses and speeds on machinery dynamics, considering both time and frequency domain data. This study explores the effects of rotating unbalanced mass in single and multiple planes on machinery vibration, providing insights into diagnosis and mitigation strategies. The results demonstrate how the placement of an unbalanced mass in relation to each other in single and multiple planes varies the vibration effect, highlighting the importance of proper balancing and maintenance practices for optimizing machinery performance and longevity. Experimental results are validated with the 3D Finite Element (FE) result for a few cases showing excellent agreement. In general the study underscores the importance of MFS technology in advancing fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance in industrial settings.
