Vibration Analysis Inspection Checklist

The Ultimate Vibration Analysis Inspection Checklist
Vibration analysis is the key to a successful predictive maintenance (PdM) strategy. The quality of diagnosis is entirely dependent on the quality of data collection. Inconsistent sensor mounts, missing baseline readings, and poor calibration result in "Garbage in, garbage out" situations, masking critical faults such as bearing wear or misalignment until it becomes too late.

We have designed this Vibration Analysis Inspection Checklist to eliminate variability from your inspection rounds. Whether you are a seasoned Reliability Engineer or training a new technician, this downloadable resource ensures that every step—from pre-inspection planning to CMMS integration—is executed with precision and consistency.

What You Will Get from This Checklist

  • Step-by-Step Workflow: A logical, 7-phase process that guides you from equipment prep to final reporting.

  • Data Integrity Assurance: Specific checkpoints for sensor verification and calibration to ensure your FFT analysis is based on accurate signals.

  • Best-Practice Mounting Guidelines: Reminders on surface preparation and alignment to avoid "sensor rock" and signal distortion.

  • Actionable Fault Logic: Clear steps on how to flag frequency peaks and transition from analysis to work order generation.
