Five Minute Facts
Detecting and Diagnosing Misalignment in a System
Next-generation sensors based on MEMS technology, combined with advanced algorithms for diagnostic and prognostic applications, expand opportunities to measure a variety of machines and improve the ability to effectively monitor equipment, improve uptime, enhance process quality, and increase throughput. This 5 minute fact reviews misalignments and their characteristics to provide insights into some of the key system requirements that must be considered when developing a condition-based monitoring solution.
