Motion Amplification
Motion Amplification is a powerful video-based tool for localising vibrations in machinery, structure and pipework.
With motion amplification we can provide unique and valuable vibration assessment and root-cause problem-solving services to clients for many applications.
Motion Amplification
Motion amplification allows us to quickly localise potential problems and provides the insights needed to conclusively determine the requirement for corrective action. It offers a highly targeted approach for diagnosing complex situations and identifying the true source of unwanted movement or vibration.
When used alongside other measurement techniques such as ODS or Modal analysis, strain gauge measurements and related methods, the results can also serve as valuable input for future finite element analysis (FEA) studies.
Our Solution
AVT Reliability BV, formerly Van Geffen Reliability, offers a wide range of field and vibration testing alongside consultancy across numerous structural analysis disciplines. Motion amplification is frequently incorporated into these services as a powerful tool for identifying complex issues.

Offering
Motion Amplification is applied to quickly identify the source, location and impact of structural vibrations. AVT Reliability utilises this technology as either a stand-alone service (motion amplification survey) or as part of comprehensive vibration research, drawing on our extensive background in structural dynamics and advanced vibration analysis.
At AVT Reliability we offer two levels of motion amplification service:
Standard Motion Amplification Survey
This service includes a motion amplification survey, data processing and video presentation.
Common applications include:
- Troubleshooting machinery and structural vibration issues
- New machine commissioning and design validation
- Transient behaviour investigation (start-ups and shutdowns)
- Annual pipework vibration assessments including small-bore connections
Enhanced Survey
This enhanced service combines motion amplification with additional tools and techniques to diagnose issues more deeply and provide corrective recommendations.
Common applications include:
- Rotating equipment with high operational vibration
- Vibration-induced fatigue such as cracking in structures or pipework
- Pipework vibration exceeding Energy Institute recommended levels
Standard Motion Amplification Survey
Includes the full motion amplification survey, data processing and video reporting.
- Vibration troubleshooting for machinery and structures
- New machine commissioning
- Transient investigations
- Annual pipework vibration surveys
Enhanced Survey
Combines motion amplification with complementary diagnostic tools for deeper investigation and actionable recommendations.
