5. Main defects
This section gives an overview of the main faults and their vibratory manifestations that can be encountered on conventional rotating machines.
5.1 Unbalance (or imbalance)

Events :
-
increase in the overall level selected for low frequencies :
i.e. D c c [10-1,000 Hz],
i.e. V eff [10-1,000 Hz] ;
-
clear increase in the amplitude of the fundamental frequency (rotation frequency, fr ) :

Quantification
Like any movement, vibrations recorded during routes can be quantified by three fundamental quantities:
travel ;
the speed of this displacement ;
the acceleration...
