Predictive maintenance, driven by routine vibration measurements, plays a crucial role in extending the life of rotating ...

But some problems remain dangerously hidden in the vibration reading — until it’s too late. These potentially catastrophic problems are caused by repeated high-energy impact events that occur ...

The Fluke 3563 combines a high-frequency piezoelectric sensor, two MEMS sensors, and software, enabling maintenance teams to continuously monitor and analyze vibration readings for a facility’s ...

After the Eastern Washington plant returned to service, turbine vibration readings increased to higher that expected.

No-load vibration readings were taken again with the tape recorder and sent to Ft. Wayne for analysis. The coast-down test, before the bearing change, confirmed again the significant amplitude at ...

Vibration readings were not taken at any other time during construction, even when the foundation piles were driven, according to the developers.

But after the nuclear plant reconnected to the grid and reached 80% power following the refueling outage, turbine vibration readings increased to higher than expected, preventing full-power ...
