When it comes to accelerometers, one size does not fit all. There are many different types of accelerometers from which to choose. While there are a number of things to consider in order to pick the best one for a particular application, here are five of the top ones: Type of measurement Vibration – Defined as the oscillating motion about a position of equilibrium. Examples for vibration measurement include electric motors, resonance detection, turbine and/or bearing monitoring, and overall machine…

Choosing the Correct Parameter for Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis is one of the most effective tools for identifying mechanical and/or electrical faults in rotating machinery early to take action before a costly failure occurs. The three main parameters measured to evaluate the vibration characteristics of a piece of equipment are acceleration, displacement, and velocity. To gain a better understanding of the insights these parameters provide an analyst, let’s take a deeper dive into each one individually and the tools commonly used to measure them. Acceleration Acceleration refers…
Journal and Rolling Element Bearings: Advantages/Disadvantages of Both
Bearings are a critical component of rotating machinery and equipment. For condition monitoring purposes, they provide the ideal measurement location for diagnosing machine faults on rotating equipment. They take the brunt of both radial and axial loads on the shaft in order to maintain smooth operation. Faults such as misalignment, unbalance, resonance, and process-related issues can be identified by measuring bearing parameters. There are two main types of bearings used in industrial equipment: Journal bearings Rolling element bearings Having a…

How to Get the Most Life Out of Your Rotating Machines? Think ABCs
Maintaining rotating equipment can at times feel overwhelming and the issues complex. Yet too often, certain key elements don’t receive the necessary attention required to adequately pre-empt serious future problems: alignment, balancing, and conditions. These “ABCs” of machine maintenance are simple yet essential tools to use that will help get the maximum life expectancy from your rotating equipment when employed regularly. Alignment Proper shaft alignment increases the operating lifespan of rotating machinery. Since the machinery components that are most likely…
