Things Every Vibration Analyst Hates to Hear!

Every analyst has a few things they really don't want to hear during the course of their work. These comments often indicate that proper maintenance
activities have not been performed on the equipment, or convey unrealistic expectations of the analyst's abilities. For instance:

  • "It has always run like that!"
  • "It really was

The award was presented at a luncheon on Wed., Nov. 6, 2013, at the 84th annual Shock and Vibration Symposium in Atlanta.

The Perfect Pair: Shock Pulse and Vibration Monitoring Combo Pays Off at Boliden Mine

by Tim Sundström

IN THE MINING INDUSTRY – one of the most capital-intensive industries in the world – preventive maintenance makes good business sense. In a process involving high costs and specialized equipment, the grinding mill is not only the most energy-consuming processing unit, it is also a highly critical application. It stands to reason that optimizing this bottleneck is of pivotal interest to the industry. Swedish mining company Boliden successfully combines a shock pulse measurement technique and vibration analysis to do just that.

Wireless Vibration Analysis Made More Comfortable

A new firmware update elevates PRÜFTECHNIK’s wireless online condition monitoring system VIBCONNECT RF to a higher plane. With its wireless technology, VIBCONNECT RF is the perfect fit for applications, which require the wireless transfer of vibration measurement data over long distances.

Machinery Health Monitoring Depends on Accelerometers - PART 3: Calibrating Accelerometers

by Wayne Tustin

This is Part 3 of a five-part series. Part 1 (Uptime Oct/Nov 2013) dealt with the mechanical aspects of using accelerometers, while Part 2 (Uptime Dec/Jan 2014) addressed the electronic aspects of dealing with those small signals. Part 3 is intended for machine monitoring users of accelerometers and deals with calibrating accelerometers to determine their sensitivity.

New Hansford Sensors Products Enhance Vibration Monitoring

Hansford Sensors has launched a range of new products that enable engineers to bring yet greater efficiency to vibration monitoring in a range of applications.  Among the new products are the latest 4-20mA Transmitters, or Loop Powered Sensors, the new M12 Cable Assemblies with protective conduits and Snap On Quick Release Cables.

Part 2 Machinery Health Monitoring Depends on Accelerometers: Signals from Accelerometers

by Wayne Tustin

This is Part 2 of a five-part, series. Part 1 (Uptime Oct/Nov 2013) dealt with the mechanical aspects of using accelerometers, while Part 2 will cover the electronic aspects of dealing with those small signals. Part 3 will discuss calibrating accelerometers to determine their sensitivity. In Parts 4 and 5, we will attach accelerometers to various machines so they can report on machinery health.
