What are Dynamic IEPE Vibration & Ultrasound Sensors
Dynamic IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric) vibration and ultrasound sensors are advanced types of sensors that allow for both standard vibration AND ultrasound measurements out of one sensor. These sensors are designed to measure standard vibration faults as well as high-frequency vibrations and ultrasound signals in rotating machinery, such as pumps, motors, turbines, and other rotating equipment.…
Rolling-Element Bearing Defects Missing at The Calculated Frequency?
Rolling-element bearing defect frequencies may not always be constant. In other words, they do not always show up at the calculated bearing defect frequencies. Why? This can be attributed to several possible factors.…
Diagnosing Mechanical Looseness
Mechanical looseness is a condition that occurs when there is excessive movement or play in mechanical components. It can cause a wide range of problems, including decreased efficiency, increased wear and tear, and even catastrophic failure. Mechanical looseness can be classified into two broad categories: rotating looseness and structural looseness.…
Impact of Magnet Size on Frequency Response
