Two Minute Tips
Motor Magnetic Center
Running a motor uncoupled will pull the motor rotor into a magnetic center, often marked on the shaft to ensure that the rotor is lined up on the magnetic center when it is coupled to the load. .

Detecting Lack of Lubrication with Wireless Vibration Sensors
Why wireless sensor Fmax is Critical. Lack of lubrication is a major cause of bearing damage & bearing failure. Therefore, it is critical for vibration sensors to be able to detect the higher frequency vibration resulting from lack of lubrication, which is generally far above 1kHz..

Using Motor Current Signature To Detect The Number Of Cracked Rotor Bars In Induction Motors
This presentation will not only focus on collecting current signature , but also will cover the analysis part of spectral data to determine the number of cracked/broken bars along with the severity level and needed corresponding corrective actions . This will be clearly shown through two real case studies in my plant for two 1.2 MW induction motors.
