The Most Definitive Test of a Hydraulic Pump

Several tests can be performed on a hydraulic pump to indicate its condition. The temperature of the pump case, the flow of the case drain and the current draw of the drive motor are common checks that can be done regularly and over a period of time to track the wear of a hydraulic pump.

A Two-Plane Balancing Solution for the Lag Phase Measuring System

A Two-Plane Balancing Solution for the Lag Phase Measuring System

A balance program developed for the lead phase measuring system was used for searching the effective two-plane balancing solution for the lag phase system of measurement for an overhung rigid rotor. This article presents the mathematical expression of the solution and its validation from the results of a test for two-plane balance by comparing calculated values using experimental data.

MEMS Accelerometer Performance Comes of Age

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.

How to Make Servo Valves Last Forever

How to Make Servo Valves Last Forever

The RELIABILITY Conference 2016 Forum - 47:21 
by Jason Kopschinsky, Des-Case

For plants that rely on hydraulics, servo valve reliability goes hand-in-hand with equipment uptime. And while a number of things can affect the reliability of servo valves, the quality and cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid is one of the primary root causes of failure. In this paper presentation we’ll explain why cleanliness is important and provide simple, practical ways to address fluid cleanliness and increase servo valve reliability and longevity.
