Understanding Lubrication Failures and Failure Mechanisms
Lubrication is vital to maintenance and reliability. Lubrication done right can alter the path of how asset reliability is managed. Understanding lubrication maintenance strategies and lubrication failure modes will allow key personnel to eliminate root causes to achieve operational KPI’s.

Condition-based Monitoring Development Platform, Extends Equipment Lifetime through Advanced Vibration Sensing
Piezo accelerometers have been the gold standard vibration sensor used for decades on the most critical assets. In some cases the cost of piezo sensors and accompanying hardware prohibited them from being installed on lower criticality assets. Over the last few years MEMS accelerometers have made huge leaps forward in noise and bandwidth performance, bringing them in line with piezo accelerometers.

What You Didn’t Know About Surge Testing
Preventing unscheduled downtime and expensive repairs should be the primary goal of every predictive maintenance program. Approximately 80% of electrical failures begin in the motor winding insulation, not the groundwall insulation. Unless a surge test is implemented, this critical winding insulation problem can’t be detected until it reaches the groundwall insulation due to extreme heat advanced by shorted turns: too late! Find out how the surge test works, why megohm or hipot testing will not detect winding insulation problems, and why this fantastic nondestructive test has

The Challenges with Planetary Gearboxes in Heavy Industrial Applications
In the field of vibration analysis, it is often argued that slow rotating components are the most challenging to monitor. When they are monitored, poor decisions and delayed detection are the result. However, just as with easily detectable high speed component faults, slow rotating components can have equal, if not better, success in early detection and prognosis.
