Tailored Vibration & Rotating Systems Analysis and Reporting
The rise of high speed rotating machinery in the first half of the twentieth century gave birth to the field of rotor dynamics, which accounted for the more complicated effect of rotation. In this context, natural frequencies are termed ‘critical speeds’, and can change as a machine speeds up, for example in response to bearing characteristics and gyroscopics.
Importance of Rotor Dynamics
For many systems, the effect of running close to critical speeds is increased vibrations levels, bearing degradation and fatigue. Specialist analysis can be required to design out or mitigate this problem. We have considerable experience in rotor dynamics, in particular covering vibration in gas turbines, long line-shafts, pumps.

Collective Knowledge
What sets us apart is that we can operate from academic first principles (using a combination of MathCAD calculations, in-house and commercial software) but can provide practical design recommendations and guidance from our many collective years of experience with vibrating systems.

SPP Pumps – Vibration Analysis
Vibration Analysis For SPP Industrial Water Pumps SPP Pumps produce industrial water pumps for use all over the world. Systems may use diesel engines or electric motors, and can be long vertical turbine "water-lift" pumps or conventional horizontal centrifugal pumps. We provide lateral or torsional critical speed analysis to mitigate pump vibration along with substantiation for structural steel-work such as base-plates and enclosures. We have experience meeting the [...]
