    Cycling Vibration on 1800 RPM Vertical Motor

    I am running a vertical motor 4160 V and 1800 RPM unloaded. I checked the mechanical integrity of all parts, bearings housings, stator and rotor. When I measure the vibrations, I get cycling vibration at 2 x the rotation between 0.07 to 0.22 inc/s. Can anyone help understand why this maybe?
