How does misalignment occur? Common misalignments are usual and can happen to machines in a variety of ways. Left alone misalignment can reduce the longevity of bearings, shafts, seals, and even couplings. Misalignment is the root cause of most machine breakdowns: bearing failures, and damaged seals, shafts, and couplings. In fact, it is widely believed […]
Machine vibration problems reviewed When looking at machine vibrations it is always necessary to be able to distinguish between normal operations and emerging problems. Vibration can be symptomatic of a problem, or it can be the cause of a problem. There are times when the machine isn’t physically vibrating and there is a problem. In […]
Infrared Thermal Imaging is useful across many industrial sectors Hi! I’m Craig Smith, a Reliability Engineer at RMS. Over the past few years I’ve been using Infrared Thermal Imaging technology to great affect, helping customers diagnose and repair maintenance issues with higher degrees of accuracy and speed. This article is based on a planned electrical […]
Vibration Analysis in Maintenance Can your technicians make the replace-or-repair decision? If you engage in maintenance practices, you will want to ensure your technicians can make the replace-or-repair decision before complete system failure of key components takes place. The easiest way to manage this risk is with vibration analysis. Vibration analysis allows you to detect […]
Poor bearing lubrication identified and immediately remedied Here is a great example from James Sylvester of how visually helpful the new Emerson 2140 PeakVue Plus is while working on site. On a recent survey of a critical 110KW blower motor we noticed the PeakVue levels had increased. While at the machine we quickly ran the […]
