December 3, 2010, San Juan Capistrano, California, USA - Meggitt Sensing Systems, a Meggitt group division, has recently introduced the Endevco® model 7240C, a miniature piezoelectric accelerometer with low bandwidth flat to 30 kHz, expressly designed for general purpose high-frequency vibration measurements.
Germantown, MD—Meggitt, the maker of Wilcoxon Research accelerometers and vibration sensor accessories, has released a short form catalog of industrial products. The Wilcoxon Research products short form catalog contains accelerometers, 4-20 mA vibration sensors, vibration transmitters, cables and accessories for industrial condition based maintenance and predictive maintenance applications.
This article is the first in a series of four. In this article we will provide an overview of how vibration analysis can be used to detect bearing faults. We will only consider the typical failure mode where a spall develops in the bearing and the fault slowly worsens until the bearing ultimately fails. In the next article we will explore how techniques such as enveloping, PeakVue, Shock Pulse, time waveform, and spectrum analysis can be used to detect bearing wear. In future articles we will explore additional fault conditions (cocked bearing, EDM, skidding and other conditions), and in the final article we will examine what the vibration analyst can do to extend the life of the bearing through acceptance testing, correction of unbalance and other conditions, and root cause failure analysis.
Since April, 2009, Hallsta Paper Mill in Roslagen, Sweden has been engaged in a successful project together with SPM Instrument, where bearing condition has been measured on four twin wire presses using the SPM®HD measuring technique.

Azima DLI announced details of its participation at the Solutions 2.0 Conference, taking place November 9-11 in Bonita Springs, Florida. Azima DLI will present a special session at the event entitled, “Deploying Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring Programs in Software as a Service (SaaS) Environments.” The company will also be showing the Sprite RoamerTM Intensive Care Unit (ICU) that powers its WATCHMAN Intensive CareTM Machine Condition Monitoring services at booth #400.
How does your vibration data collector acquire data? This is an important consideration and can result in unnecessary time spent collecting data in your facility. Most vibration analysts will
Collecting proper bump test data can often feel like an art form rather than being a true science. Lots of information has to be set up before acquisition, resulting in messages such as "signal
When balancing a machine, phase readings should remain relatively stable during the test. Variations of a few degrees are normal, but large jumps or readings that seem to meander around the full
It is important to consider the true long term cost of ownership when purchasing new vibration equipment. Most companies focus on the initial purchase price and not on the long term cost of this
