Intrinsically Safe Vibrations Sensors Enable Condition Monitoring in Hazardous Locations
Vibration monitoring is essential for predictive maintenance of rotating machinery. This is no less true in hazardous locations, and certified sensors designed for these locations are readily available. Below, we’ll focus on Intrinsically Safe sensors, which meet the requirements for hazardous locations found in chemical processing facilities, refineries, mills, and other facilities where flammable materials are processed or handled...

Condition Monitoring Applications for Velocity Sensors
Velocity is used as a vibration measurement for most condition monitoring applications because velocity is the best overall indication of machinery health for both low-speed and intermediate-speed components.

Efficient Vibration Data Collection For Condition Based Maintenance Programs
Condition-based maintenance is an important strategy used to achieve the quality and capacity that is required in manufacturing today. To achieve these goals, vibration analysis is helpful for determining rotating equipment condition and performance. Collecting correct and usable vibration data is critical to the success of any vibration analysis program. Unfortunately, there are challenges that must be overcome in order to provide this data that were not necessarily issues in the past.

The Challenges with Planetary Gearboxes in Heavy Industrial Applications
In the field of vibration analysis, it is often argued that slow rotating components are the most challenging to monitor. When they are monitored, poor decisions and delayed detection are the result. However, just as with easily detectable high speed component faults, slow rotating components can have equal, if not better, success in early detection and prognosis.
