PM Program Part 2: Routes PM Program Part 2: Routes This application note will provide a basis for creation of a Predictive Maintenance (PM) data collector route. Establishing an efficient PM data collector ro Dial Indicator Alignment Dial Indicator Alignment Procedure The procedure for doing reverse dial indicator alignment is not a difficult one.  There are several steps which need to be taken for a s Flatness Measurement Application Note Courtesy of Damalini Flatness Flatness measurement is done on for example machine tables, wire parties in paper making machines, flanges (circular planes), machine foundations Plumb Line Measurement Application Note Courtesy of Damalini Measurement of straightness and center line relative to an absolute plumb line is done on for example turbine and generator shafts. The measurement program uses Straightness Measurement Application Note Courtesy of Damalini Straightness measurement is done on a large number of applications, for example balks, rolls, machine constructions, transportation lines etc. The basic Accelerometer Installation Guide Accelerometer Installation Guide Table of Contents: Section I : Introduction Section II : Mounting Accessories Installation Tools Adhesives and Sealants Accelerometer Transducers and Installation Accelerometer Transducers and Installation Accelerometers have been a popular choice for rotating machinery vibration monitoring. They are a rugged, compact, light weight transducer wi Balancing Balancing Unbalance is a very common source of high vibration that is identified by excessive levels of vibration amplitudes at a frequency that is synchronous with machine speed. Possib Bearing Failure Modes Bearing Failure Modes This application note presents specific failure modes associated with machinery having journal bearings. Signal measurements presented here are time waveforms that Classification of Machines Classification of Machines This application note will provide a basis for selection of the machinery list of a Predictive Maintenance (PM) data collector program. Creating a PM mach Cooling Tower Fans Cooling Tower Fans Cooling Tower Fans have applications in all industries. They remove heat from other materials, usually water. A cooling tower may consist of one cell or many individual cells Differential / Rotor Expansion Differential / Rotor Expansion Differential Expansion (DE) and/or Rotor Expansion (RE) are very important measurements usually supplied by the Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) as part of a Eccentricity Eccentricity Shaft Eccentricity plays a very important role as part of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) System on large steam turbines and should be included in retro-fit p Eddy Current (Proximity Probe) Transducer Installation: Part 1 Radial Vibration Eddy Current (Proximity Probe) Transducer Installation: Part 1 Radial Vibration Eddy Current Transducers (Proximity Probes) are the vibration transducer of choice when installing vibrat Piping Vibration Piping Vibration Piping vibration can be an annoying problem which can consume unnecessary maintenance activity and can affect pumping system performance and endurance. The system inc Predictive Maintenance Program (PMP) Predictive Maintenance Program (PMP) A Quality Rotating Machinery Predictive Maintenance (PM) Program for your facility will return your investment many times over. This type of PM System Response System Response An understanding of how a spring mass system responds to vibratory influences is helpful in understanding, recognizing and solving many problems encountered in vibrati Thrust Position Thrust Position Thrust Position Monitoring was one of the earliest applications for Eddy Current Transducers. When utilized for this application, it is one of the most important componen Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation 1 Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation 1 Specification of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) system can be an exhausting process when the individual parameters must be specified Velocity Transducer Installation Velocity Transducer Installation The velocity pickup is a very popular transducer or sensor for monitoring the vibration of rotating machinery. This type of vibration transducer installs
