Germantown, MD—Meggitt, a leading supplier of quality vibration sensors and sensor networks offers a trio of triaxial products for permanent and hand held vibration monitoring applications. Wilcoxon triaxial sensors, cables and connection boxes are appropriate for monitoring most industrial rotating equipment including cooling tower fans, blowers, pumps, compressors, chillers, gearboxes, mixers and motors.

The portable SKF TKRS 10 Stroboscope facilitates easy inspection of rotating or reciprocating machinery in a “flash” without stopping the machinery or otherwise interrupting operation. The device enables the motion of machinery to appear “frozen” at the position required for visual inspection and ultimately can assist in preparing for necessary maintenance in advance of planned equipment shutdown. This tool delivers an optimum solution for inspecting and monitoring the condition of fans, gears, rolls, and pulleys.

Germantown, MD—Meggitt Sensing System (MSS), the manufacturer of industry-leading accelerometers and vibration sensing products, announced today that it has hired Peter Eitnier as Mechanical Engineer for Wilcoxon Research products, and promoted Wayne Glidden to Director of Materials.
