About Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) Analysis
Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) analysis combines vibration measurements taken at many points to show how a machine, foundation or piping system moves while it is running. The result is an animated picture of the motion, which makes it much easier to see where a problem starts.
ODS is often used when ordinary vibration readings show a high level but the cause is not obvious, for example a flexible base, a resonating frame or a weak support.
What it helps find or fix
- Flexible or cracked foundations and frames
- Resonance of structures and piping
- Looseness that moves a whole assembly
- Where to stiffen, support or modify a structure
Benefits
- Shows the motion instead of only numbers
- Guides the right fix the first time
- Works on equipment in normal operation
- Helps explain recurring vibration problems
