The same vibration pattern can have different causes. High generator vibration may point to bearing deterioration — or to load and thermal stress. Shaftline vibration may indicate a mechanical issue — or an operating-envelope, hull, or propeller problem. Pump vibration may suggest bearing damage — or cavitation caused by low suction pressure and unstable flow.
This is why diagnostics should connect vibration with process, engine, vessel, and operational data.
