What does the SKF OilCheck TMEH 1 Measure?   What does the SKF OilCheck TMEH 1 measure? The SKF OilCheck TMEH 1 measures the change of the dielectric constant of oil. As a consequence of contamination (by water, metal p Extending Oil Drain Intervals of your Fleet Vehicles Extending Oil Drain Intervals of your Fleet Vehicles How does the US Military extend drain intervals in their motor pool fleet? One valuable asset in their quiver of condition monitoring tool Lubricants SKF Lubricants The perfect solution for every application  Courtesy of SKF Maintenance Products Even the very best bearing can only show opti Journal Bearings Journal Bearings Industrial machinery with high horsepower and high loads, such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps and motors, utilize journal bearings as rotor supports. 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 Mounting Bearings Using Heat Mounting bearings using heat The force needed to mount a bearing increases rapidly with bearing size. Because of the mounting force required, larger bearings cannot easily be pressed o Mounting & Lubrication Courtesy of SKF Maintenance Products Prevent 16% of premature bearing damage Around 16% of all premature bearing failures are a result of poor fitting or using incorrect mounting techniques. 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 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 Comparing Vibration Readings Comparing Vibration Readings Comparing vibration level readings taken by different types of instruments and transducers can be very confusing and can lead to mistrust of the systems involve 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 Field Wiring Field Wiring There are a number of items to consider when installing a permanently mounted vibration monitoring system. One of the most critical considerations is the selection and insta Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors are utilized in all manufacturing industries. Because these machines are capable of providing high pressure along with variable loading, 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 Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation: Shell or Case Expansion Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation: Shell or Case Expansion Shell or Case Expansion is a very important measurement as part of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) System for la Valve Expansion Valve Expansion Valve position measurements are an important aspect of a complete Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation system.
