Switching Strategies: Moving to Condition Based Maintenance
Balancing cost reduction and efficiency improvement targets is a common source of frustration for maintenance and engineering managers. For facilities that operate continuously with no window for unplanned shutdowns, poor reliability and availability of machinery is far more serious, but even in factories with regular opportunities for maintenance, recovery can still be expensive and time consuming.

Gear Defects and Faults
Gear faults typically occur in the teeth of a gear mechanism due to fatigue, spalling, or pitting. These can be manifested as cracks in the gear root or removal of metal from the tooth surface. Gears are the main elements of power transmission in many industrial applications and are subjected to significant stresses and loading.

Galvanic Isolation in Signal Conditioners: Why is it Important?
Galvanic isolation was developed as a response to galvanic paths and subsequently, the signal interference they cause. A galvanic path is defined as a path in which there is a direct electrical connection between two or more electrical circuits that allow current to flow..

4-20 mA vs. IEPE Vibration Sensors for Process Control Systems
With process control systems, it’s simple (and smart) to incorporate vibration data into an existing monitoring program. Either loop-powered 4-20 mA sensors, which output a direct 4-20 mA signal, or IEPE sensors, which output dynamic data that can be converted into an acceptable process signal, can be used..
