Digital Exclusive: Mitigating structural resonance in an electric motor support: A field case study

Rotating equipment operating near structural natural frequencies is prone to resonance, resulting in elevated vibration levels and potential long-term damage. This article discusses a field case involving persistent axial vibration on an electric motor despite acceptable performance during decoupled workshop testing. The discrepancy prompted a full diagnostic investigation, including bump testing, modal analysis and structural reinforcement.
