Overhung Cooler Fan by Phase Analysis
Phase analysis is a key tool in checking the health of machines by looking at their vibrations. It measures how the timing of vibration signals line up with each other, usually from different parts of a machine. This helps find problems like parts not lining up right, balance issues, parts being loose, or gear problems.
