Engine and generator set
Vibration measurement of motor and generator sets is widely used in connection with troubleshooting and acceptance testing.
Generator set
ISO 10816-6
We often use this standard for our customers who supply generator sets to industry. The standard means that their customers have a baseline and a class number for the generator set to ensure that the quality is up to standard.
Typically, the customer sends us a drawing of the machine layout, and we determine the measurement points in accordance with the standard at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% loads, respectively. This usually takes a little less than a day to complete. The process concludes with a detailed report with a number in accordance with the standard.
Larger engines and piston engines
We often perform troubleshooting and condition monitoring of large engines and piston machines in the maritime industry, among others. There are several important components that we keep a close eye on and perform vibration tests on:
- Rent
- Turbo
- Clutch
- foundation
We can detect several types of serious faults affecting the operation of these machines, including:
- Straightening
- Soft foundations
- Resonance problems
- Rental error

Electric motors
Electric motors are usually the driving force behind rotating components and have their own mechanical fault characteristics. These may include faults such as those listed below:
- Stator problems
- Broken rotor bar
- loose rotor
- Loose stator windings
- Lamination problems
Stator problems can be caused by, among other things, an eccentric stator, which causes an uneven gap between the rotor and stator. An eccentric stator can be caused by soft foot in connection with a poor alignment procedure.
If you would like to know more about our services related to condition monitoring of electric motors, please contact Kasper Barrett.
