Predictive maintenance consists of monitoring data obtained from monitoring, with the main results of increasing the availability and reliability of equipment. Several non-destructive testing can be performed by this type of maintenance, with vibration analysis being one of the most common. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relevance of vibration analysis in the context of industrial predictive maintenance, as well as its applicability in mechanical and electrical equipment. The

... c production of this article was based on the experiments carried out by several authors in their areas of expertise, based on bibliographic source. It was concluded that the vibration analysis is an important test for the application of predictive maintenance, being able to be implemented in several equipments, besides being a method that contributes directly to the reduction of costs in the supply chain. Finally, it is necessary to take into account that there are points of attention that must be considered for a more adequate implementation of the method.
