MD2 – Turbo Machinery Diagnostics and Rotor Dynamics
- Rotor diagnostics based on vibration analysis – definitions and theory
- Fluid-film bearings and turbo machinery analysis techniques; fundamental rotor response, stiffness, instabilities
- Interpretation of wareform, phase, orbit, polar and Bodé plots; shaft centerline, full and half spectrum plots. Root cause analysis, recommendations exercise.
Duration of course: 3 days
Course type: Public, private, remote
Prerequisites to the training: CAT II

MD3 – Balancing in-situ (2 options)
1) Rigid-rotor balancing
Balancing using 1 or 2 planes, 4 run no phase and overhung balancing methods. Types of unbalance, vector review.
2) Flexible-rotor balancing
Vector review, balance response and recognizing resonance. Mode shape, rotor non-linearity, thermal vector, field consideration, with balancing workshop.
Duration of course: 1 day each
Course type: Public, private, remote
Prerequisites to the training: MD2 or CAT II (option 1) and MD4 or CAT III (option 2)
Please note: In order to do both rigid-rotor and flexible-rotor balancing, you will need to order course no. MD3 twice!

MD4 – Hands-on Diagnostics Seminar
- How to correctly diagnose machine fault conditions and suggest the correct recommendations and practices (also covering some turbo machinery)
- Bearing types (journal and anti-friction) and related faults. Interpretation of data plots and root cause failure investigations (many case studies and exercises).
Duration of course: 3 days (A private course attended from remote can be split into several days of 90-minute remote sessions.)
Course type: Public, private, remote
Prerequisites to the training: MD2 or CAT II
