Data record instr.vibration-analyzer.fault-signatures

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

Imbalance appears as raised vibration at shaft speed in the radial and tangential directions, misalignment as raised shaft-speed vibration in the axial direction with a twice-shaft-speed component, looseness as a train of shaft-speed harmonics in any direction, and bearing wear as peaks that are not integer multiples of shaft speed.
