Maintenance.org Webinar: How To Edit Your Profile

A 30 minute tutorial presented by Terrence O'Hanlon that explains how to use the FREE member web site to build your professional brand and your professional network.

One of the advantages of your FREE membership at the Association for Maintenance Professionals is being able to connect with people who DO WHAT YOU DO.

In other words, you can find other maintenance and reliability professionals who use the same EAM software, or the same Vibration data collector or have a job and daily challenges that are very similar to yours.

This does require that your profile be completed with as much detail as possible. The good news is that this task is easy to accomplish!

About the Association for Maintenance Professionals

The Association for Maintenance Professionals is a not for profit association dedicated to facilitating networking between maintenance and reliability professional.

The web site at http://www.maintenance.org has been called the LinkedIn or Facebook for the maintenance and reliability community without so much job Recruiting and NO commercial advertising.

Correct Sensor Mounting for High Frequency Detection, Enveloping or Demodulation to Monitor Bearings

Many people use one of these high frequency techniques to detect and monitor bearing wear. However, the location and mounting of the accelerometer on the machine will determine the ultimate

Mounting: Your accelerometer should be stud mounted. Magnetic mounts and handheld probes should not be used. The accelerometer should be mounted on a surface that has been spot faced and tapped to accept the accelerometer stud per manufacturer instructions. When it is installed, the stud should be tight, stretching the stud to ensure proper contact and coupling across the entire face of the accelerometer. Burrs or dirt on the face or a poorly drilled and tapped hole will degrade the signal, so be sure to use the appropriate tools. If you must use a portable sensor, be sure to use one of the stud mounting systems offered by several manufacturers.
