In this educational video from the RMS Reliability Training Institute (https://rmstraining.com), Stuart Walker provides a comprehensive, handson tutorial on how to diagnose a bearing defect through data collection, analysis, and inspection, identifying the root cause of the damaged bearing. See below for a timestamped summary.

In this video, you'll discover:

(0:15) Introduction to the thermal oxidizer unit at a chemical plant, which the team is set to inspect for a suspected vibration problem.
(0:55) Explanation of how the vibration route is loaded into the analyzer and data is collected from the combustion fan.
(4:07) Once back in the office, the collected data is transferred from the analyzer into the PC for further analysis.
(4:37) An exception report is run to identify any alarms that were triggered during the data collection phase.
(5:55) Presentation of the melter points plot that shows various parameters of the combustion fan.
(6:48) A look at the trend history that reveals increased levels of high frequency values, indicating a potential issue.
(9:06) Examination of the spectrum history and waveform, revealing a lot of highfrequency activity.
(10:07) Detailed analysis of the frequency spectrum and time waveform.
(11:23) Identification of nonsynchronous harmonics, indicating a bearing defect.
(12:25) Using the bearing numbers, potential issues are overlaid onto the analysis for further understanding.
