insufficient

the cause. 
Realign the shaft-center.
 
If abnormal vibration and noise fre-
quently occur in monocoque unit, 
hot alignment is recommended.

If loose locknuts exist and no other

bearing, tighten locknuts evenly.

Forgetting to bend lock washer claw 
or wear of thrust bearing rolling 
element (ball) can be considered. 
→Check for any defects in thrust 
bearings. If there are any defects, 
replace it. Then perform end 
clearance adjustment as well as 
axial runout check, and 
dynamic balance of 
rotors 
If no other causes for abnormal 
vibration are found, and if on-site 
overhaul has been repeatedly 
performed, imprecision in rotor 
dynamic balance might be the 
cause of abnormal noise and 
vibration. If this is the case, 
overhaul and inspect compressor
