Vibra Calc calculates vibration frequencies of rotating machinery components given the specifications of each component. It includes induction motors, gears, rolling element bearings, pumps, fans & blowers, journal bearings, and belts & pulleys. Also, it provides an interactive vibration severity test tool based on the ISO 10816-3 standard. Furthermore, Vibra Calc has a calculator for vibration conversions from/to displacement, velocity, and acceleration with metric and imperial units. Features: - Induction Motor Frequency Calculator - Full detailed gears frequencies (main, harmonics, sidebands) up to 4X - Rolling element frequencies (BPFI, BPFO, BSF, FTF) given the bearing dimension or the bearing model number - Pump vane pass frequencies up to 4X - Fans blade pass frequencies up to 4X - Journal bearing frequencies corresponding to wear and oil whirl phenomena presented in a table and over an interactive chart - Belt frequencies up to 4X - Interactive Vibration Severity Test Tool based on ISO 10816-3 (INPUTS: vibration velocity in mm/s or inch/s, type of support, type of machine & OUTPUTS: Machine Operation Condition) - E-mail and Save the screen option for vibration severity tool - Vibration calculator to convert displacement/velocity/accelerations to each other (Metric & Imperial) - Vibration Glossary - Metric and Imperial units provided for all input dimensions DISCLAIMER: Vibra Calc is intended for educational purposes. Although the calculations by this app were made with great care, it may contain error or inaccuracies. Using the results of the calculations is the responsibility of the user.

About

Mobius iVibe

This app helps identify machine fault conditions by analyzing spectrum symptoms and machine types. It offers explanations, sample spectra, and diagnostic guidance, functioning like a portable reference guide for troubleshooting. Users can navigate through symptoms, machine types, or fault types to find potential issues.

Highlights
  • Identify machine faults by spectrum symptoms
  • Browse by machine type to find likely faults
  • View sample spectral images
  • Detailed diagnostic information
  • Scroll through 80 spectral images
  • Drill down through symptom lists

Mobius iVibe provides an easy way to look up machine fault conditions based on spectrum symptoms and machine types. You’ll see sample spectra, explanations of faults, and explanations of how to diagnose fault conditions. It is like a wall chart for your iPhone/iPod Touch. 1. Select from a list of symptoms and drill down to find machine faults 2. Select from a list of machine types and drill down to see the likely faults 3. Select from a list of fault types and drill down to see sample spectra. 4. Or just scroll through 80 spectral images. When you see a spectrum (often with phase information and a machine image) you can swipe up and down to see other similar spectra, or swipe left and right to see a page of details, and a page of diagnostic information (how to be sure the diagnosis is correct). Here are a few more details: 1. Select from a list of symptoms (high 1X, high 2X, harmonics, etc.) and drill down to find machine faults that might be a match (unbalance, misalignment, looseness, etc.) 2. Select from a list of machine types (motor, bearings, pumps, etc.) and drill down to see the likely faults (broken rotor bars, wear, cavitation, etc.) 3. Select from a list of fault types (unbalance, misalignment, looseness, etc.) and drill down to see sample spectra. 4. Or you can just scroll through 80 spectral images until you find what you want.
