  • What will students benefit from?

    • About condition monitoring, including a summary of the most common technologies
    • About reliability improvement
    • How vibration analysis plays a key role in reliability improvement
    • How machines work via the supplementary self-study “equipment knowledge” section of the manual
    • Fundamentals of vibration: waveforms, spectra, and simple metrics (overall levels, rms, peak, peak to peak, and crest factor)
    • How to take dependable, repeatable, high-quality vibration readings
    • About vibration sensors, and how and where to mount them
    • Basics of the analysis process, primarily with vibration spectra
    • Basics of the key analyzer settings: fmax, resolution, and averaging
    • The basics of setting alarm limits
    • Common “failure modes” of machines and how to detect them, including rolling element bearing faults, unbalance, misalignment, looseness, and resonance

  • What you get when you sign-up!

    • Students will receive comprehensive course materials, refreshments, and lunch.
    • Registered students are given access to the online version of the course via the Mobius Institute Learning Zone before the class and for six months after the course completion to assist them with converting the course information into practice.
    • Students who successfully complete the course will be awarded a Certificate of Completion and a certificate for Certified Vibration Expert, Category III as per ISO Standard 18436-2
