🔍 Key Concepts

• reciprocating air compressor normal operation and vibration sources • difference between mechanical unbalance/looseness versus electrical overload signs • how drive belts affect vibration compared to mounting problems

💭 Think About

• Think about what usually causes a machine to run roughly and shake: is it more often power/load related, or alignment/connection related? • Which of these choices would most directly allow the whole unit to move and vibrate excessively, rather than just making the motor work harder? • If a belt is too tight, what kind of symptoms would you expect: noise, bearing wear, starting difficulty, or the entire unit vibrating roughly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the symptom: rough running + excessive vibration must be explained together, not separately • Eliminate options that primarily indicate electrical or thermal problems rather than physical movement • Consider which part, if loose or improperly adjusted, would let the compressor frame physically shake on its base
