How vibration analysis could have prevented a bad case of droop

All manner of weird and wonderful things arrive at our service centre, but this repair was one to remember.

A failing bearing had created so much heat that the shaft had become molten on this belt-driven compressor motor.
A mixture of wrongly spec'd grease and over-tightened belts had caused the failure.

The fault could have easily been avoided had thermal imaging or vibration analysis been performed by our qualified engineers.
