Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

Vibration analysis is a powerful and non-invasive way to measure, understand, and quantify the internal dynamics of mechanical systems, but the cost of the necessary instrumentation is sometimes a ...

There's typically no way around it. At some time during a motor's life, it is likely to experience high vibration levels. What's behind this maintenance phenomenon? The cause may be an electromagnetic ...

Magnetic bearings have probably amassed more hours of contemplation among engineers than they have actual hours of running time. Their ability to operate unlubed without wear has always been held back ...
