When machine vibration increases, one of the first questions to ask is: “Is a failing bearing causing the vibration?” In the case of rolling element bearings, it’s not difficult to separate vibration ...

Machinery accounts for a substantial share of capital spend in most manufacturing environments. Rotating equipment makes up a huge part of this – pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and gearboxes all ...

Vibration sensors monitor the performance of motors, pumps, and other rotating assets such as fans, compressors and gearboxes to catch maintenance issues before they cause machine failure resulting in ...

If you see air-moving equipment, chances are oil-film bearings lie at the heart of centrifugal and axial fans. Serious damage can result to the entire unit should these bearings fail. Therefore, it’s ...

Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...
