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.
In the June/July 2016 Uptime article, “Condition Monitoring and MEMS Accelerometers: What You Need to Know,” several attributes of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers were presented that make the technology compelling for condition monitoring applications. This article reviews data demonstrating the state of MEMS technology development and performance levels by comparing it to a commercially available piezoelectric (PZT) condition monitoring accelerometer.
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.
The Uptime series on the 10 components of a successful vibration program continues with this article that focuses on Component #10, the right processes and procedures.
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 PRISeries offers a single probe assembly solution with direct processed outputs.
Most machines have rotating parts and those rotating parts vibrate. Measuring how and how much those parts vibrate can tell you a lot about the health of a machine. Whether it’s the rumble of worn bearings or the shaking, shimmying, or thumping of loose, misaligned, or unbalanced parts, machines have a tale to tell those who are willing and able to listen.
In continuing the Uptime series on the 10 components of a successful vibration program, this article explores three more components: the right understanding, the right analysis and the right reporting.
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.
Hansford Sensors, the leading UK manufacturer of high performance industrial accelerometers, has launched two new cable and connector sets for use with its existing range of vibration sensors.
