Machine Monitoring and How ESA Technology Can Upgrade Your Plant’s Reliability

In many cases, the quality of the power supplied to the motor system may be the cause of a breakdown or failure. The result of poor “power quality” is usually long term and often overlooked as the source or contributor to the problem. Knowing the quality of the incoming power, along with the mechanical and electrical condition of motor and the mechanical condition of the drive are important at all facilities to maintain uptime & save money...

A Condition Monitoring Toolbox for Gearboxes

When measuring on a gearbox with a vibration transducer, you almost always see a clear gear mesh signature in the spectrum; regardless if the gearbox is in mint condition or an older, worn gearbox, you still see the gear mesh. The mechanical explanation of this phenomenon can be found when studying the interaction of the teeth involved...
