Five Minute Facts
Sensor Reliability Impact on Predictive Maintenance Program Costs
Accelerometers with lower mean time between failures (MTBF) values result in higher costs for permanently installed vibration sensor applications - as much as $60 per vibration sensor. By taking the MTBF and manufacturing quality into account when making an accelerometer purchase, you can achieve lower overall program costs.

Shaft Alignment 101: Offset & Angularity
Shaft alignment is a critical aspect of machinery maintenance, with the stationary shaft and movable shaft needing to be precisely aligned to avoid potential failures. In a typical setup, the movable shaft is adjusted relative to the stationary shaft to ensure alignment within machinery tolerances.
