Bearing frequencies: What you should know and why you should not rely on them

An hour long presentation by Jason Tranter, Managing Director, Mobius Institute

Detecting rolling element bearing faults is key to success in vibration analysis, and most analysts utilize a database of bearings to know where to look in the spectrum. But did you know that those frequencies may be incorrect? The peaks don't always appear where you expect. In this Webinar we will review the four key frequencies, learn why the peaks will not appear at the calculated frequencies, and learn why the information from your database may be incorrect. We will also explain how to detect bearing faults without these bearing frequencies.

The Absolute Basics of the Vibration Spectrum - Part 2

An hour long presentation by Jason Tranter, Managing Director, Mobius Institute

Did you get to see the previous (record breaking) presentation where we introduced the absolute basics of the vibration spectrum? Well this presentation will take the next step, explaining a little more about the peaks and the patterns you see in the spectrum. We can't turn you into an instant expert, but we hope to demystify what all those peaks mean, and how the diagnostic process works.

National Instruments Announces Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 2011

National Instruments today announced the latest version of its NI Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite software, which provides a comprehensive collection of analysis and signal processing tools for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) testing, machine condition monitoring (MCM) and audio test applications. Engineers can use the suite as stand-alone software or combine it with NI hardware and NI LabVIEW system design software to greatly simplify test system development and control. With its new vibration data-logging functionality and other enhancements, the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 2011 helps engineers to more easily customize and automate any MCM or NVH test or monitoring application.

Avoid Asset Failure with Wireless Monitoring

An hour long presentation by James F. Haza, senior sales consultant, Honeywell Process Solutions

Ninety percent of rotating assets in industrial plants are not instrumented due to the high cost of wiring vibration monitoring systems. Today, wireless technology is changing how facilities approach asset management. Plants are now instrumenting their non critical assets with wireless vibration transmitters and self-monitoring intelligent vibration analysis applications.

Detecting Bearing Faults -  Part 4

by Jason Tranter

This is the final part of the series on dealing with rolling element bearing defects. In previous articles, we looked at how vibration analysis can be used to detect a range of faults conditions, including lubrication problems; wear, spalls, cracks and other defects; and problems that relate to poor installation practices. In this article, we will discuss how the vibration analyst (and others within the maintenance and operations group) can minimize the number and severity of bearing faults. This is arguably the most important of the four articles.

Detecting Bearing Faults - Part 3

by Jason Tranter

In the two previous articles (Dec/Jan 2011, Apr/May 2011), the focus has been on how the vibration changes when a "typical" bearing fault develops. We have explored spectrum analysis, time waveform analysis, and a raft of high frequency detection techniques. But there are a number of fault conditions related to rolling element bearings that will not necessarily change the vibration patterns in the ways described thus far. Thus, in this article we will explore fault conditions that relate to poor installation (cocked on the shaft or on in the housing), current flow through the bearing (EDM damage), skidding, and slipping.
