vibration analysis

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces that it has developed an ISA100 Wireless™*-based field wireless vibration sensor with the ability to quickly update data and a long battery life, and will release it in markets other than Japan on December 7. By providing real-time updates on vibration levels in plant facilities, this sensor helps users quickly detect equipment anomalies and enables predictive maintenance.

Hansford Sensors, the leading UK based manufacturer of industrial accelerometers, has announced it is expanding its presence in the US by opening a joint sales and serviceoperation, based in Texas. This new office will be the latest additionto the Hansford group of wholly or partly owned subsidiaries in Poland, Australia, Germany and India plus an extensive sales network of over 30 independent Hansford Sensors distributors around the world.

Dubbed the “Analyst’s Release,” ALERT 4.0 offers more analytical power for vibration diagnostics.

Fastec Imaging’s TS5 handheld High-Speed Camera enables you to record any rotating machinery or equipment moving at high-speed and susceptible to vibration problems for performance analysis or troubleshooting using slow motion replay. 

Data Acquisition Systems for Fault Diagnosis & Condition Monitoring

The diagnosis of bearing damage in roller bearings is an integral part of servicing and maintenance tasks. Increasingly, technicians rely on condition monitoring systems (CMS) for machine diagnoses in plants and factories. Many CMS systems are based on vibration measurements. Two contrasting approaches exist: the diagnostic, qualitative approach (producing an envelope spectrum); and the quantitative approach (measuring vibration velocity).

Condition monitoring specialists SENSONICS have introduced a new range of proximity sensors with an integrated driver suitable for measuring shaft vibration, position and speed on rotating plant. Building on their established Senturion proximity probe range, the new PRI Series offers a single probe assembly solution with direct processed outputs.

Efficient Online Condition Monitoring for Single Aggregates

The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) is pleased to announce that registration for the Thirteenth International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Machinery Failure Prevention Technologies (CM2016 / MFPT2016), being organised in co-operation and partnership with the US Society for MFPT, is now open. The combination of the efforts of two leading organisations creates the largest event of its kind at a truly international level and builds on the highly successful series of twelve international CM conferences organised by BINDT and 70 annual conferences organised by the Society for MFPT.
