Misalignment left uncorrected can have damaging effects on machine components. Misalignment will reduce coupling life, bearing life and overall motor health. It can be a bit confusing when trying to identify misalignment using vibration analysis because the vibration response is often dictated by the mechanical configuration of each machine. Therefore,...

While corporate asset management (CAM) has been a hot topic for the past decade, the demands of the transformational requirements (culturally, technologically, procedurally and philosophically), compounded with the time it takes to achieve them, often mask or even prohibit the visibility of bottom line financial benefits. In this paper, you'll...

The current accepted method for determining fuel dilution in motor oils is gas chromatography. Although workable, it is not practical from the standpoint of obtaining timely, real-time data. A dynamic in-line FTIR monitoring system has been designed and used to continuously monitor fuel dilution in an engine test-bed. This FTIR...

In the last five to ten years, there?s been a fundamental shift in how companies staff their lubrication programs. Driven in part by the retirement of the baby-boomer generation, companies are starting to examine how they can effectively staff a lubrication department to achieve lubrication best practice. From the classic...
