Vibration measurement is a technique employed to identify and assess the magnitude of vibration in machinery or mechanical systems. It is an important technique in predictive maintenance and can help diagnose faults, especially in the early stages.
Fans are a very common component in industry, they are used to move air from one place to another. Fans are used in dust collection, supplying air to boilers, providing ventilation to factories, are used in the manufacturing process and more.
Vane pass frequency is one of the more common and easily identified vibration monitoring components, present primarily in fans and pumps but also identifiable in compressors and other similar rotating equipment.
More than 300 million electric motors are used in infrastructure, large buildings, and industry globally. These motors account for about 2/3rds of the industrial power consumption. Electricity is required in almost all areas of the plant to provide the driving force that either operates the equipment that produces the products or provides the services that the plant’s equipment was built to perform..
Condition monitoring applications continue to grow in importance, as equipment manufacturers look to increase asset utilization with real-time monitoring of equipment, extend equipment lifespans, and increase throughput by utilizing predictive maintenance techniques to reduce maintenance costs and asset downtime..
View a few maintenance tips for protecting cooling towers and stopping any unplanned downtime with your equipment. Knowing the best detection technologies available today and how these can best be used, maintenance engineers can not only prevent failure but also significantly maximize machine uptime.
This case study investigates Duke Energy’s quest to replace its monthly, manual data collection practices with daily, remote data collection and monitoring.
Electric motors are critical assets that require a good reliability program to achieve life expectancy. But did you know your electric motors are also your window to see into your most critical assets like... Find out in this free webinar.
