Puzzling Pump Problem Decoded with Motion Amplification

Routine measurements of a pump showed vibration levels of 5 mm/sec at 2X, which is high. We checked for misalignment and soft foot, but…

How Does Motion Amplification Work?

Motion amplification uses a camera and a collection system. We use the pixels of the camera as vibration sensors—each pixel becomes a vibration sensor. The idea here is that...

Detecting Pump Faults Using Motion Amplification

I’ve used motion amplification in industry intensively over the last two years. We’ve had some great successes with it, and it’s changed the way I do my work. We used this technology on cooling water pumps that are…

Visualizing Vibration

We're so used to measuring the heartbeat of the machine (the frequency), and the amplitude and severity of vibration. Here, we're going to use a technology called motion amplification to analyze how the machine moves visually...

Examples of Rotating Equipment

Just a couple examples of rotating equipment. Firstly, we have a pump in an ethanol plant in the north of England. Its history of vibration levels was not excessive, but 2X at 5 mm/sec is not quite the norm...
