Dynamic forces in the mechanism of special-purpose process reciprocating compressors and pumps can cause excessive vibration and noise. A comprehensive model and practical recommendations are presented for design and reliability improvements. Factors such as power per cylinder, rod load, speed range, crosshead pin location, and crosshead clearance have strong effects on mechanism-related vibration and noise.
