Learn how to efficiently improve your vibration monitoring program. A case study on implementing wireless vibration into your existing route based program. We will explore the steps necessary to integrate a supplemental technology while maintaining data integrity. We will focus on reactive monitoring of equipment, but will also address continuous monitoring of critical assets.
Upgraded SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings for vibratory applications have been newly engineered to provide ideal performance and longer service life compared with conventional types. Typical applications include vibrating screens, compactors, road rollers, and similar end-uses operating with high vibration and exposed to contamination, and/or poor lubrication conditions. The bearings additionally are designed to accommodate very heavy radial and axial loads suiting applications where misalignment or shaft deflections may occur.
Goffstown, NH -- 06/13/2016 -- Regular maintenance is critical to ensure machine systems are working to their full potential. It is of the utmost importance for businesses to limit machinery downtime, which in turn, results in a more efficient spindle. Proactive measures can be requested from SPS Spindle Parts & Service, LLC. Among those beneficial offerings is spindle analysis, which includes a vibration analysis performed by certified Predictive Maintenance Analysts and state-of-the-art equipment.
Many highly integrated and easy to deploy condition monitoring products are appearing on the market that employ a micro electromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer as the core sensor. These economical products help to reduce the overall cost of deployment and ownership, and in the process, expand the universe of facilities and equipment that can benefit from a condition monitoring program.

Indian Rocks Beach, FL - Cosen Saws, a leading global manufacturer of industrial band saws, has selected the Digiducer™ USB Digital Accelerometer as their embedded vibration monitoring input for their MechaLogix cloud based machinery monitoring technology. The Digiducer digital USB piezoelectric accelerometer was chosen for its high dynamic range, rugged performance in the factory environment, and the simplicity of integration with its plug-and-play capability within standard operating systems (www.digiducer.com).
In today’s industrial environment, most turbomachinery has permanently installed machinery protection systems that incorporate vibration monitoring instrumentation. These systems typically utilize proximity probes to monitor both radial and thrust events (i.e., relative vibration measurements), case mounted seismic vibration transducers (i.e., absolute vibration measurements) and a shaft speed/phase reference measurement. By incorporating the preexisting machinery protection systems’ available measurement types into a routine vibration analysis program, technicians can determine specific fault types and machine condition based on signal amplitudes, frequency content and phase relationships between machine components. Additionally, these measurements can be acquired for machine commissioning purposes after mechanical repairs/inspections and utilized for machinery diagnostics with the use of multi-channel transient vibration analysis techniques.
