MEMS Accelerometer Performance Comes of Age

In the June/July 2016 Uptime article, “Condition Monitoring and MEMS Accelerometers: What You Need to Know,” several attributes of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers were presented that make the technology compelling for condition monitoring applications. This article reviews data demonstrating the state of MEMS technology development and performance levels by comparing it to a commercially available piezoelectric (PZT) condition monitoring accelerometer.

Condition-Based Monitoring and Acoustic Lubrication

Condition-Based Monitoring and Acoustic Lubrication

Although many are utilizing ultrasound in their condition-based monitoring (CBM) program, many are still lukewarm about implementing the acoustic lubrication application as part of a CBM program. But here’s why that application should be utilized.

How to Develop an Industrial Internet of Things Solution Phase 2: Research and Development

This article, the third in the series (Feb/March 2016 and Aug/Sept 2016) about developing an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution, takes a closer look at the second phase: research and development (R&D). R&D starts with the go to development milestone, then continues to the first go live and subsequent releases until the final stop when the decision to finish the development is taken.

Connected Maintenance Solutions Enable New Business Models

There is tremendous hype around the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT), but the IoT is not a singular entity as the value proposition, timeline and technological needs vary widely across its three major domains – industrial, consumer and healthcare. The hype across all three of these IoT domains is palatable, with talk of industry 4.0, smart homes and digital healthcare increasing on a daily basis. This makes finding the right IoT markets and the best bets an enormous challenge.

Maintaining Belt Drives for Best Reliability

Belt drives are often considered the fuse of the power transmission drive path, which can be an advantage for belt drives. In that line of thinking, not much thought is given to the impact on overall equipment reliability with respect to the belt drives connecting driver and machine.

Reliability, Resilience and Damage

Research currently being carried out by the Center for Risk and Reliability, University of Maryland1, and funded by the U.S. Navy is aimed at quantifying reliability in scientific terms. The present study “relies on a science-based explanation of damage as the source of material failure and develops an alternative approach to reliability assessment based on the second law of thermodynamics.” Current reliability calculations are predisposed to a single failure mode or mechanism and assume a constant failure rate, while this research implies that reliability is a function of the level of damage a system can sustain, with the operational environment, operating conditions and operational envelope determining the rate of damage growth.
