A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

Rotor dynamics and vibration analysis encompass the study of the behaviour of rotating machinery subjected to various excitations and uncertainties. This field, which lies at the intersection of ...

Power generation plants throughout the world rely on critical process fans for operation. But what happens when a fan rotor, with a wheel rotating at a peripheral speed of 450 miles per hour (mph), ...

Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

Driveshafts do a big job in our Fords, Mercs, and Lincolns. They take a powertrain's rotary motion and carry it to the differential and drive axles. This is not an easy task. Not only must a ...

Precision line shafts transmit torque across longer distances while maintaining mechanical synchronization. Here we review their basics, as well as speed considerations. Line shafts span long ...
