Vibration analysis has long been the instrument of choice to use for bearings and other rotating equipment. More commonly, ultrasound is being used in conjunction with vibration analysis to help technicians confirm the condition of mechanical assets.
Oil analysis is one of the earliest detectors, if not the earliest, of performance changes in your equipment. It provides meaningful and accurate information on lubricant and machine condition, which is an essential component of keeping equipment reliable.
Amy Lachman, the President of PhyMet, inc. discusses how Micropoly came to be, and the benefits of mixing oil with polymers versus other methods of lubrication.
When you have multiple lubricants in a factory with hundreds or even thousands of lubrication points, mistakes will happen. Introducing the wrong lubricant into an application leads to unplanned downtime and costly repairs.
Learn what application considerations should be made before beginning IIoT. Number of sensors per Gateway, Asset Management framework, and Measurement range of IIOT Sensors are just a few of these considerations.
Have you ever added the number of shims your laser alignment tool or dial indicator tells you to during an alignment only to find your machine is still out of alignment? This is a frustrating but common occurrence.
It’s on all of the vibration fault charts, it’s taught in vibration classes, and it’s used for balancing – but how often is phase actually used by vibration analysts to confirm faults?
Imagine trying to measure the a 100° F temperature with a thermometer with a high value of 80° F, or your local police trying to catch speeding cars with a radar gun that only goes to 20 MPH. Both situations share the same problem, the sensor is not appropriate for their use!
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.
