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..

Condition Monitoring is a Bit Like Going to the Doctor
Condition monitoring is a bit like going to the doctor. Doctors may look at your electrocardiogram, blood sample results, blood pressure and temperature. These tests are just a few of many examination techniques available to them, some more complex than others. So why are they done?

Monitoring the Machine Condition Lifecycle
This 5 minute fact discusses the machine condition lifecycle curve, three distinct operating windows within that curve and methods to extend the usable life of equipment. You’ll hear about methods to monitor equipment during a proactive maintenance phase, predictive maintenance phase and finally the fault phase. Finally, solutions to help implement monitoring during all phases of the machine lifecycle will be discussed.
