Air-Cooled Chiller Motor Vibration Testing – EKG M&E Sdn Bhd

At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we provide precise and professional motor vibration testing services for air-cooled chillers, ensuring your motor-driven components operate smoothly, efficiently, and without risk of mechanical failure. The motor is a critical part of the chiller system, and abnormal vibration can indicate issues such as imbalance, misalignment, electrical faults, or bearing wear—all of which can impact performance and lead to costly breakdowns.

Why Motor Vibration Testing Is Important

• Detects early signs of motor wear or failure

• Prevents unexpected shutdowns and equipment damage

• Enhances energy efficiency and system reliability

• Supports predictive maintenance strategies

• Extends the lifespan of motors and connected components

What We Test

• Motor rotor and shaft balance

• Motor-to-compressor or fan coupling alignment

• Bearing condition and housing stability

• Electrical motor-related vibration harmonics

• Mounting base integrity and looseness

Our Motor Vibration Testing Process

Visual and Mechanical Inspection
We begin with a full assessment of the motor housing, mounts, shaft, and couplings to check for visible wear or instability.

Sensor-Based Testing
We install triaxial accelerometers and vibration sensors on key points of the motor to measure vibration amplitude and frequency across multiple axes.

Data Analysis
Using tools like FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and time waveform analysis, we identify:

• Shaft misalignment or imbalance

• Bearing wear or friction

• Electrical resonance or unbalance (especially in VFD-driven motors)

• Mechanical looseness or mount degradation

Reporting and Recommendations
You receive a detailed report that includes:

• Measured vibration levels and severity

• Root cause of any detected issues

• Recommended corrective actions such as alignment, bearing replacement, rebalancing, or mount adjustments

Benefits of Motor Vibration Testing

• Reduces operational risk and energy waste

• Prevents motor burnout and mechanical breakdowns

• Enhances system performance and cooling consistency
