  • Three Vibration/Balancing Solutions for the Aviation Industry
    Jet engine vibration is an everyday concern for commercial and military aviation. This white paper describes three technology solutions that streamline vibration analysis and simplify balancing: 1) A test cell turbine vibration analyzer/balancing system. 2) A portable vibration analysis and engine
  • Fan Balance and Vibration
    Vibration always has been a good indicator of how well a piece of equipment was designed, installed, and maintained. With sophisticated, computerized, preventative maintenance programs, vibration can now also be used as a precursor of future maintenance requirements.
  • Shock Absorbers Solve Balance-Testing Bottlenecks for Fan Manufacturer
    When you want to put a rotating part through its paces, detecting unwanted vibration will often be part of the test regimen. In recent years, the process of testing and balancing rotating parts, has increasingly been automated by test systems that can measure balance - verifying that the part's
  • Perspective: The Importance of Aviation Engine Vibration Testing
    Jet engine vibration is perhaps the worst enemy of an aircraft maintenance team. Out-of-balance parts can lead to cracked fan, turbine, and compressor components; general metal fatigue; and if unchecked, catastrophic engine failure. Rick Jones, President and CEO of MTI Instruments, addresses
  • In-situ balance of an Open Cycle Gas Turbine
    A vibration problem arose at an Open Cycle Gas Turbine. Following an outage on the four gas turbines and two SSS clutches, the machine returned to service with unacceptable vibration levels on some generation runs resulting in a significant loss of commercial operation.
  • Machining - Smart Machining: A New Development in High-Speed Machining to Consider - 03/06
    Maximum RPM Machining: Necessities of High-Speed Moldmaking Mold shops will thrive if they practice an 'all-aspects ' process to HSM, which includes the machine, cutting tool, toolholder, proper balance and application support. High-speed machining has been around for a few years now
  • Portable Power for Permanent Speed Sensors
    Portable Power for Permanent Speed Sensors allows accurate speed measurements and TTL trigger pulses for vibration monitoring, dynamic balancing and synchronous time averaging, Monarch provides a combination of a permanently mounted speed sensor, which is wired to a "switch box" and powered
  • Motors for Craniotomy Hand Tools
    Craniotomy hand tools are high speed drills used in Neuro (Skull) surgeries. These highly complex procedures require very high precision and balancing. Even minor vibrations or jerks could impact the outcome of surgeries. These quick coupling hand pieces require perfectly balanced motors with low
  • Using Photodetectors for Position Sensing (.pdf)
    Applications are expanding rapidly in the use of electro-optical instruments to measure angle, distance, heights, centering, surface uniformity, and other parameters related to position sensing. Applications also include dynamic measurements such as vibration and dynamic balancing, which require
  • Managing Critical Roll Bearing Deterioration
    Mill technicians at Orchids Paper suspected that two roll bearings were deteriorating on their most critical paper machine. Relying on Azima DLI's WATCHMAN TM Insight program to provide early warnings on impending machine faults, the Mill technicians collected vibration data from the suction
