PRETECT offers Motion Amplification® (MA), a non-contact and video-based Vibration Analysis and Fault Visualization service that combines high speed cameras, patented vibration visualization technology, software processing algorithms, analysis and reporting.
The key benefit of MA is that Visualization shows you faults NOT evident to naked eye. The videos are amplified to visualize machinery faults and pinpoint root causes that might otherwise be difficult to detect using traditional sensor methods.

PRETECT utilizes cutting-edge laser alignment technology to correct one of the most common causes of vibration in rotating equipment.
Misalignment and Soft foot is a leading cause of premature wear in rotating equipment and components such as bearings, seals, and couplings from excessive strain.
By improving alignment and addressing soft foot conditions, we help extend the lifespan and reliability of your machinery.
Key Benefits:
-Reduce Vibration
-Decrease Component Wear
-Lower Power Consumption
-Extend Equipment Life
When you schedule alignment services with PRETECT, you can trust our experts to align your equipment to the highest industry standards, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) - The Brain of Your Mechanical Systems
When VFDs are not properly configured, they can lead to premature failures in critical components. Vibration caused by imbalances and resonances in the system can cause undue wear on bearings, mechanical seals, isolators, motors, and mounting structures.
Most VFDs aren’t programmed to lock out critical frequencies—the speeds at which a motor inevitably fails. Critical Speed Analysis isolates and avoids these frequencies.
We offer VFD Preventative Maintenance to keep drives running optimally, Troubleshooting to get fickle drives back on-line, Harmonic Mitigation reducing drive-induced electrical disturbances, and Installation, Replacement, and Repair services.
PRETECT combines advanced vibration analysis, critical speed-based analysis, and Motion Amplification® to mitigate common vibration problems caused by VFDs.
Our VFD Services include:
> VFD Preventative Maintenance
> VFD Troubleshooting
> Harmonic Mitigation
> VFD Speed Calibrations
