A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

Software-generated lumped-mass models predict what version of a machine most effectively minimizes vibrations from motion inputs while damping vibration propagation at support structures. This is a 3D ...

Understanding the role vibration sensors play in proactive maintenance applications is critical to avoiding unplanned downtime. A vibration sensor can reveal if a motor is misaligned to a pump or ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

Power generation plants throughout the world rely on critical process fans for operation. But what happens when a fan rotor, with a wheel rotating at a peripheral speed of 450 miles per hour (mph), ...
