Two Minute Tips
Motor Storage
Proper motor storage is critical if we hope to achieve normal life expectancy from our electric motors. Not only is proper motor storage important for good motor health, it may be required to maintain a warranty on motors that we purchase..

Digital Maintenance Plan Avoids More Than £25,000 in Wasted Costs for Yelo
Yelo’s manufacturing plant was custom-built to enable it to produce the highest quality vegetable oil and animal feed using only mechanical processes.
Asset availability and reliability is critical to the business and the management team understood that adopting a ‘run-to-failure’ reactive maintenance approach would be both costly and inefficient.

Condition Monitoring is a Bit Like Going to the Doctor
Condition monitoring is a bit like going to the doctor. Doctors may look at your electrocardiogram, blood sample results, blood pressure and temperature. These tests are just a few of many examination techniques available to them, some more complex than others. So why are they done?

Machine Health Basics For The OEM Design Engineer
Analyzing machine vibration as a means of monitoring healthy operation and diagnosis of emerging problems is a relatively mature specialization, long practiced on turbines and motor-pump trains. Condition Monitoring for the factory today is generally implemented by a skilled practitioner equipped with a handheld data-logger, collecting and processing signals from a tethered vibration sensor during a periodically scheduled, route-based maintenance program.
