Reciprocating compressors play a critical role in a number of industries but require more maintenance than a comparable turbo-compressor. An effective condition monitoring and diagnostics strategy therefore plays an extremely important role for reducing downtime and life cycle costs of these machines while increasing reliability, safety, integrity and efficiency...
Peter Eitnier of Wilcoxon talks about why vibration monitoring practitioners are adding ultrasound to their CBM program and how precision lubrication can extend the life of bearings.
The presentation focuses on the monitoring of ultra-low and low-speed machines. It covers the bearing failure process, highlighting the importance of accurate condition monitoring.
Detecting bearing failure modes at higher frequencies, and earlier in their progression, is key to extending the bearing life and ensuring the reliability of a machine. Bearing failure generally progresses through four main stages and across a wide range of frequencies.
In this SME interview, we talk with Paul Daly of Sensoteq about the market sections in Australia that embrace condition monitoring, what maintenance challenges they face there and what Australian customers are looking for.
Traditionally portable sensor-based condition monitoring systems haven proven their effectiveness over last few decades in managing risks in the critical assets operation and optimization of the maintenance activities. The online condition monitoring systems are becoming more affordable and effective in recent years in terms of transient events detection, data acquisition safety, fault tracking and proactive maintenance of critical assets.
In this webinar, we will explore the significance of pump performance monitoring and the implementations of model-based ESA analysis to enhance efficiency and reliability in various industrial applications.
Under- and over-lubrication contributes to 40-70% of bearing failures. Precision lubrication can be achieved with ultrasound analysis and supported with vibration root cause analysis. Ultrasound monitoring can be used to hear and analyze the friction index of each bearing, indicate the precise amount of lubrication required, and extend the life of the bearing.
What is the main purpose of the alarm threshold? It’s just to let us know that something has changed on this descriptor. This doesn’t mean a change in the data itself, but a change in the data distribution…
