Vibration Specialists
Our Vibration Specialist can assist with complex turbine vibration data acquisition, analysis, recommendations, and balancing, and pinpointing vibration problems, and direct repairs.
ITC specializes in complex turbine vibration data acquisition, analysis, recommendations, and balancing. Turbine generators require specialized vibration services, as they are both complex and unique multi-bearing turbomachinery.
Turbine generators require specialized vibration services as they are both complex and unique multi-bearing turbomachinery, with:
- Most large turbine generators have supercritical rotors, requiring a keen understanding of rotor dynamics, supercritical modal analysis, and compromise balancing for slow, at-speed, and critical speeds within operational range
- Thermal growth effects on vibration phase, angle, and amplitude during modes of operation
- Multiple types of bearings can be used on a single machine, including: Tilting pad, elliptical, shortened elliptical, cylindrical, tapered land, Kingsbury, roller, etc
- Our Turbine vibration experts are also well versed in the particularly tough cases of turbine vibration, including synchronizing condenser applications and SSS clutch vibration and alignment
- Combined with our turbine mechanical expertise we can pinpoint the root cause of any vibration problem and direct repairs
