Vibration Analysis
Two Minute Tips
Warning Signs of Pump Cavitation
Pumps are critical pieces of equipment in a large variety of industrial settings. Although they are routinely monitored as part of a facility’s CBM program, the data captured in this way isn’t always enough to identify the signs of early-stage pump cavitation. Vibration data can provide valuable insight into the pump’s condition, and with the right monitoring setup can help you identify developing cavitation before serious damage or failure occurs.

The Importance of Balancing a Turbo
Internal combustion engines use turbochargers as a way to output more power. Some turbocharger impellers can reach speeds up to 300,000 rpm.
Unbalance at high speed generates vibration that will not only reduce the engine performance, but may eventually cause permanent damage to the whole system. Needless to say, turbo balancing machines are important in maintenance activities for turbocharger systems to work in optimal conditions.

Automatic RPM Identification From Vibration Data
Vibration analysis requires a correct identification of the rotational speed of the machine. How the different frequencies of the spectrum are related to RPM, identifying with high accuracy the order of each frequency, is essential for the analysis process.

Making It In A High Frequency World Striving for High-Frequency Industrial Accelerometers
As predictive maintenance teams in industrial facilities strive for a more complete picture of their equipment’s health, high frequency vibration measurements have become a crucial addition to identify faults such as motor and pump bearing defects and gear tooth inconsistencies in high-speed gearboxes. As a result, there is an upsurge in demand for vibration sensors with a high frequency response.
