SPM Instrument now announces the introduction of a new version of its popular electronic stethoscope. Listening to machine sounds in order to determine the probable source of abnormal noise is one of the most widely used methods in maintenance departments across all branches of industry.
ACOEM was created in late 2011 following the purchase of 01dB-Metravib by Evolem and its leading executives. The group is pursuing its build-up strategy with the purchase of VIBRALIGN, a long-standing partner of FIXTURLASER in the U.S. The ACOEM Group offers unrivaled expertise in the environmental, industrial and defense sectors, presenting its know-how through four unique brands:
VibrAlign introduces the first ONEPROD product from ACOEM to arrive in U.S. markets: the ONEPROD HAWK. The HAWK is a machinery diagnostic tool that empowers mechanics to instantly diagnose the health of their rotating assets, and requires no vibration training or certification to use.
Hansford Sensors, the leading manufacturer of industrial accelerometers, has opened a new office in India, boosting its customer support, service and product offerings to businesses operating key assets in industrial applications

Meggitt's portable shaker verifies the operation of sensors monitoring vibration levels of rotating industrial machinery including pumps, fans, motors and coolers. Designed for everyday use in
The approach to vibration analysis is likely the most varied practice in the industry. This is partially due to the lack of standardization, combined with an explosion of new knowledge and technologies over the last two decades. Guidelines for creating a world-class vibration program will differ immensely depending on the source of information. When designing a new policy or optimizing an existing program, it is vital to have a good understanding of the shortcomings that can be found in almost every network in operation. A lack of buy-in, priority, provability, the uncertainty of diagnostics, false alarms, missed opportunities, time and dedication, improper settings and lack of resources are common reasons for a less than fully successful vibration program. In short, the issue is not one thing that's 100 percent wrong, but rather 100 things that are one percent wrong. At the Chevron Phillips Chemical Company's (CPChem's) Sweeny complex, a small amount of unique improvements made a significant difference in the program's success.
Beta Machinery Analysis (BETA) is pleased to announce two additions to its leadership team. The new personnel reflect BETA’s growing business in China and Southeast Asia, and its expanded services in piping vibration and integrity.
Emerson Process Management has introduced new spectral resolution options for the CSI 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitter that reduce bandwidth requirements and improve power module life. Data log and configuration capabilities have been added to streamline user interaction with multiple transmitters on a single gateway. These enhancements are delivered via the release of AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager version 5.61, Emerson’s asset management software.
Meggitt’s HV (high voltage) isolated sensors are designed for vibration monitoring in high electromagnetic environments commonly found near wind turbines, including the base and nacelle, and rotating machinery such as bearings, gearboxes. The rugged design and high performance components of the HV series ensure reliable operation in harsh electromagnetic environments without signal loss or delays.
The 805 FC delivers best-in-class repeatability, accuracy for checking the overall health of motors and other rotating equipment, and shares measurements with team members in real time.
Hansford Sensors, the leading manufacturer of industrial accelerometers, has launched its latest vibration monitoring packages for use in cooling towers at power stations and industrial sites. The packages have been introduced to make it simpler for engineers to specify the optimum combination of sensors, cables and ancillary components, and to help reduce installation and maintenance times.
SPM Instrument, Sweden, leading worldwide provider of condition monitoring technology and products, now announces the introduction of Intellinova® Compact Ex, the latest addition to the successful Intellinova product line for online condition monitoring of rotating machinery.
Design Maintenance Systems Inc. (DMSI) announced that it has released its new SQL Server based MAINTelligence V5.0 application software. MAINTelligence is designed for large industrial process operations, discrete manufacturing, mining and other organizations whose operations rely on the health of their physical assets.
Introduced at Sensors Expo earlier this year, the DigiducerTM Piezoelectric USB Digital Accelerometer is rapidly gaining acceptance in both industrial and test markets.
If you are currently running a vibration monitoring program in-house or outsourcing it to a consultant, before you potentially throw any more money in the toilet, you really need to audit your vibration monitoring program and ask yourself if you are getting any value out of it.
Torsion fatigue failures occur more frequently than we realize. As a teacher of failure mode identification, it is common to have one or more individuals in every class bring an unusual failure to class that, upon examination, is torsional fatigue. Depending on the particular industry, torsional fatigue is involved in 10 to 25 percent of rotating equipment failures.
A mathematically-constructed diagram used to check for coincidences of vibration sources (1', 2', etc., shaft speed) with rotor natural frequencies, which result in rotor resonances. It plots
