Accelerometer – High Frequency
Met de high frequency accelerometer serie van Wilcoxon is het mogelijk om trillingen te meten in het hoog-frequente bereik. De sensoren worden onder meer ingezet bij tandwielschade of kleine lagers in machines of compressoren. De high frequency accelerometers zijn beschikbaar met 100mV/g of 10mV/g gevoeligheid. De 10mV/g uitvoering wordt hierbij het meest gebruikt, gezien deze …
Customer reference Sappi: Replacing vibration protection systems
Replacing a Bently Nevada BN3300 vibration monitoring and protection system with a Vibro-meter VM600 Mk2 The Maastricht Paper Production Mill operates a powertrain consisting of a gas turbine, gearbox, and generator. Two systems were used for vibration protection on this powertrain. The Bently Nevada 3300 (BN3300) series machine protection and monitoring system was used …
Customer reference Windunie: Vibration monitoring & analysis
Vibration monitoring and analysis on wind turbines in the Netherlands Windunie is a collaboration between owners of wind turbines throughout the Netherlands. The warranty of some of the wind turbines at one of their wind parks was expiring at the end of 2022. Windunie has engaged Istec as brand-independent vibration specialist to monitor the condition …
How Istec realizes vibration protection and condition monitoring at a power plant
Recently we have published a series of articles about (remote) condition monitoring. We described 4 reasons to install a remote vibration monitoring system (1) and listed the necessary hardware for a well-functioning remote vibration monitoring system (2). In this article we give a practical example of vibration protection and monitoring at a power plant. 1: …
Application note: The challenge of monitoring vibration and rod drop
Explained: how and when to monitor vibration and rod displacement Reciprocating compressors are among the most critical machinery in industries such as (petro)chemical, power and oil and gas. As opposed other rotating machinery, reciprocating compressors are very maintenance-demanding. Therefore it is crucial to have advanced monitoring systems in place to monitor various essential mechanical parameters, …

Vibration measurements for reciprocating compressors
Vibration measurements on reciprocating compressors prove to be difficult due to the natural mechanical movement of this type of machinery. However, there are some important parts that should be monitored for changes in vibration behaviour. Casing vibration (frame vibration) Casing vibration results from various forces and movements inside the machine and are part of normal …
New: Vibration transmitter for SIL2 applications
The ST5484E is a SIL2 certified vibration transmitter for vibration measurements on bearing housings and is suitable for rotating machinery and reciprocating compressors. With the certification, the transmitter is applicable for SIL2 applications with rotational speeds between 120 and 6000 RPM such as blowers, fans, pumps, electric motors, and small turbines. Vibration monitoring for SIL …

Vibration monitoring on paper machines
The production lines in the pulp and paper industry consist of various sections with many rotating machines and rolling elements. Each section is essential for the process, so for maximum productivity, it is important to prevent unplanned and unnecessary downtime. In this article, we will explain which environmental factors need to be considered when choosing …
Centralized versus distributed machine monitoring system
Vibro-Meter VM600, centralized measurement system The VM600 measurement system from Vibro-Meter is a centralized machine monitoring system that can be expanded to a condition monitoring system. It is developed for plants where data from all machines is centrally stored in a (secure) central room and where physical connection to raw signals is required to gain …
