September 05, 2008   Last Chance to Attend PdM-2008 Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference

September 15-18
Qwest Center - Omaha Nebraska

Your machinery includes potential failures that will transform into real failures unless you detect them early and have time to plan for repair and restoration.

Learn from peers how companies are using:

Vibration Analysis
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Motor Testing
Ultrasound
Oil Analysis

Bonus: PdM-2008 is collocated with LubricationWorld where you can learn how companies are applying best practices for machinery lubrication to build a foundation for reliability.

September 05, 2008   Lubrication for Industry

by Kenneth E. Bannister

As a clear, concise, practical introduction to the world of industrial lubrication, the second edition dispels the myths surrounding lubrication and helps users develop a keen sense and understanding of how lubrication directly and indirectly impacts machine reliability, availability, and ultimately, the bottom line.

What’s more, it provides readers with practical advice that will allow them to put in place a viable lubrication management program and effectively troubleshoot lubrication related problems immediately, while offering essential information required to significantly reduce equipment downtime and increase life cycle management. It is a significant source that provides vital information and practical methods not currently taught in trade apprenticeship and engineering programs.

September 05, 2008   Introduction to Machine Vibration

By Glenn White

The purpose of this book is to serve as a reference text for the maintenance engineer and technician who is working with condition monitoring and predictive machinery maintenance technology. Broadly speaking, the subject is the principles of vibration theory and analysis as they apply to the determination of machine operating characteristics and deficiencies. The first chapter underscores the importance of vibration analysis in the field of predictive maintenance and root cause failure analysis.

The chapters on vibration theory and frequency analysis lay the groundwork for the chapter on machine fault diagnostics based on vibration measurement and analysis. A systematic approach is used here to guide the reader through a logical sequence of steps to determine a machine’s condition by detailed examination of vibration signatures.

September 05, 2008   Use of Stroboscope with STD-510 Vibration Data Collector

TECHNEKON’s STD-510 portable Data Collector is able to work with stroboscope. It allows to:

• Evaluate shaft rpm

• Evaluate velocity rms (or displacement pk-pk) of the fundamental frequency

• Evaluate phase value of the fundamental frequency (special marking not required)

• Build-in spectral analysis (3200 lines resolution)

• Use these data for machinery condition analysis and one-plane balancing

Very small and lightweight, easy-to-operate, free updates and low price.

Please contact TECHNEKON at or 713-614-6796.
