Bearing defects are typically caused by a lack of lubrication, misalignment, or fluting and can result from installation errors. Cavitation in pumps can be caused by clogged strainers, plugging, poor piping design, or operating too far from the pump curve. Gear wear occurs through adhesion, abrasion, or polishing and stems from misalignment, lack of lubrication, or other issues. Misalignment happens when the shaft centerlines of connected machines are not aligned in the same vertical and horizontal planes.

another underlying fault such as lack of lubrication, installation errors, misalignment, or fluting. Cavitation Cavitation can be caused by clogged suction strainers, plugging on the suction side, poor piping design, and the pump running too far left of the pump curve. Gear Wear The three major types of wear are adhesion, abrasion and polishing. Gear wear can be caused by misalignment, lack of lubrication, and more. Misalignment Misalignment occurs when the shaft centerlines of the driver and driven machine(s) are not aligned in the vertical and horizontal planes. Structural Resonance Structural resonance is caused by the natural frequency coinciding with a forcing frequency. Unbalance Common causes of unbalance include dirt, paint, rust, broken blades or vanes, and missing fasteners in the rotating element.
