Two Minute Tips
Location, Location, Location
When it comes to analyzing vibration, sensor placement is key to quality of data capture. Motors can be large, surrounded by equipment and difficult to access, so locating an area to place your vibration sensor can be harder than it looks.

Basic Oil Sampling Tips
Companies need to recognize the importance of good sampling practices when it comes to the results of their oil analysis program. That small 70 mL sample submitted to your lab represents all the oil circulating in the equipment. Here are a few simple tips you can take to ensure you get a good, clean sample, that is representative of the oil in your system.

Kiln Lubricant Provides Exceptional Protection for Open Gears
Synthetic Oil Protects Slow-Moving, Straight-Cut Open Gears.
Pyroshield Syn Kiln Lubricant (9020) is a heavy-duty synthetic fluid designed to provide exceptional protection for high-load, heavy-shock, high-heat applications, particularly large shrouded and unshrouded open gears servicing kilns and ball mills in the mining, mineral processing and cement industries. It is recommended for slow-moving, straight-cut gear sets where flaking occurs using a conventional open gear lubricant.

Accelerometer Maximum Cable Length Calculator
When cables between the power supply and the accelerometer are short, less than 100 feet or 30 meters, circuit capacitance usually has no significant effect on the vibration data signals. Long cables may introduce sufficient capacitance into the sensor circuit to allow vibration signal distortion and produce spurious signals.
