Pulley misalignment is a common problem in belt-driven fans that can cause significant damage to the fan and its components.…
The two main functions of a proximity probe system are to identify the vibration and position of a shaft relative to its housing. In order to provide monitoring solutions for these two metrics, CTC offers different 4-20 mA current driver types.…
Dynamic IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezoelectric) vibration and ultrasound sensors are advanced types of sensors that allow for both standard vibration AND ultrasound measurements out of one sensor. These sensors are designed to measure standard vibration faults as well as high-frequency vibrations and ultrasound signals in rotating machinery, such as pumps, motors, turbines, and other rotating equipment.…
Rolling-element bearing defect frequencies may not always be constant. In other words, they do not always show up at the calculated bearing defect frequencies. Why? This can be attributed to several possible factors.…
Mechanical looseness is a condition that occurs when there is excessive movement or play in mechanical components. It can cause a wide range of problems, including decreased efficiency, increased wear and tear, and even catastrophic failure. Mechanical looseness can be classified into two broad categories: rotating looseness and structural looseness.…
An accelerometer's high-end frequency response can be dramatically impacted by the magnet used to mount the accelerometer. …
Cooling towers are frequent choices for vibration monitoring due to their often critical role in maintaining operational efficiencies. Learn about CTC's complete line of vibration monitoring equipment for your cooling tower preventive maintenance needs.…
The use of SC300 Series Signal Conditioners is ideal for cases where there are already voltage probes installed (or in stock) and the end user would like to get a 4-20 mA output, or where specialty configurations are desired.…
