On our expert blog we publish in-depth articles on our expertises: vibration, speed and SIL.
Condition Monitoring: the link between vibration and mechanical failure
A recently overhauled oil pump exhibits an abnormal vibration pattern after a short time in operation. What to do? This report discusses a case in which a deviation is observed…
Lower maintenance costs through Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
Maintenance Strategies Machine maintenance can be a significant cost for a factory, but with the right strategy, investments can be recovered, and costs can be reduced. Ensuring that a process…
The basics of machine vibrations and vibration measurements
It is important to detect vibrations at an early stage to prevent damage. The consequences of vibrations should not be underestimated. For instance, vibrations in a turbine can have catastrophic…
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…
Vibration Measurement on Bearings in Rotating Machinery
Understanding the Role of Vibrations in Rotating Equipment Monitoring Vibration measurement on bearings offers a reliable way to monitor the condition of rotating machines. These include steam turbines, gas turbines,…
Vibration measurements in practice: misalignment of low-pressure pump
In this project, a client is questioning whether the vibration sensors of the low-pressure pump are transmitting accurate values. Doubts about the performance of these sensors arose because the sensors…
