Rotor Dynamics & Reciprocation

What is Rotor Dynamics and Reciprocation? Typically these services are on-site pre, or post intrusive work scopes, at an OEM factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), or rapid response to site troubleshooting requirements for turbo and reciprocating equipment.


AVT Reliability BV (formerly Van Geffen Reliability) offers an unbiased and independent assessment of clients’ equipment condition. In addition, we provide annual measurements and inspections to support complete and continuous monitoring programmes.

Turbo machinery and rotor dynamics


Turbo machinery & Rotor dynamics

Turbo machinery requires a different level of vibration analysis than general purpose machinery. This includes identifying natural frequencies or modes to determine whether resonance may occur.

Measured vibration data is used to tune a rotor dynamic model, enabling accurate prediction of stability behaviour and forced response changes.

Reciprocating machinery


Reciprocating machinery

Reciprocating machinery generates higher vibration levels than centrifugal machinery, and a wide variety of vibration and failure problems can occur in both machinery and piping systems.

Excessive piping vibration often occurs when a mechanical natural frequency (MNF) of the piping or manifold system is excited by pulsation or mechanical excitation sources.
