Not all condition monitoring programs are created equal. Some evolve by expanding coverage, sharpening insight, and empowering technicians to drive reliability. Others plateau, stuck in route-based routines while teams are stretched thinner than ever.The difference comes down to one choice: do you allow your program to plateau, or do you build it to mature?
A week after the plant started up after an annual planned outage, an injection pump motor failed. The motor’s insulation had failed, shorting between phases.
Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced the DM286 Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM™) Multimeter, and two new clamp meters, the CM57-2 and the CM85-2.

Vitens, the largest drinking water company in the Netherlands, has successfully realized energy savings on its critical pumps using SAM4 Energy in a proof-of-value pilot.
ABB and Samotics, a leading provider of ESA technology that is a high-growth scaleup company based in the Netherlands, have entered a strategic long-term partnership to provide enhanced condition monitoring services.
Samotics – a leading provider of solutions to eliminate industrial energy waste and unplanned downtime – has launched a new energy efficiency product to market: SAM4 ENERGY.
Technology allows their Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles to be safely connected and disconnected under full load, up to 200A and 100 hp, in wet or dry conditions.
Challenges: One of the biggest challenges is being able to recognize, diagnose and remedy an evolving motor problem to prevent an unexpected catastrophic event.
Maintenance professionals tasked with maintaining electric motor reliability are often concerned with testing their critical motors at voltages well above nameplate levels. It can certainly feel counterintuitive to test a 460V motor to 2,000V or a 4,160V motor to 9,320V. After all, the motor is only rated for this lower voltage, right?
Starting a new or refurbished motor for the first time is a very important moment in a motor life. Before pushing that start button, there are six critical reliability steps that should be verified to ensure you’re not making a big mistake.
Afamily-owned motor repair business in Pennsylvania has been selling industrial motors, controls, gearboxes and all related services since 1981. Its vision has always been to grow beyond a geographic service area, but it was not willing to compromise on its commitment to quality.
[St. Louis, Mo, 8/14/19] The Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) honored Steve Skenzick of HPS Electric Apparatus Sales & Service in Roseburg, OR, as the 2019 recipient of the EASA Exceptional Achievement Service Award.
This presentation focuses on electrical failures and standards-based testing methods which can reveal problems long before they affect the motors's operation.
Reliability and electric motors do not always seem to go hand-in-hand. There is electrical reliability and mechanical reliability, but what about electro-mechanical reliability? This can exist, and it does for many plants across the country!
This presentation will cover best practices for greasing motor bearings and how to successfully implement them. The presentation is applicable to those wanting to start a motor greasing program because it will help create a roadmap to accelerate implementation and ensure that best practices are followed from the start.
