“Great day last week working with Phil Renshaw, testing some cutting-edge technology from RDI Technologies Inc. The v3.2 Tach Sync with the IRIS M Motion Amplification Camera. We can now visualize and measure non-synchronous vibration motion on rotating components at high speed (Tach removes the 1X). In this example of a pump running at 2943RPM (49Hz), we filtered to two different frequencies: 21Hz showing unexpected axial motion and 18.9Hz showing a possible torsional-related rocking motion.
We need more field research to understand its applications fully. If you have any ideas for deploying this technology, I’d love to hear them.” — Stuart Walker
