Shaft Misalignment is a common problem in rotating equipment. Precision alignment means reduced vibration, longer component life, reduced safety risks, lower power consumption and other benefits. Our laminated 24” x 36” wall chart provides information and guidelines for the implementation of good shaft alignment of rotating machinery, best practices, soft foot, tolerances, thermal growth, and much more. Usually $50 each, but for a limited time, request your complimentary copy today!

This guide provides information for the implementation of good pulley alignment of belt-driven equipment including terminology, alignment methods, belt maintenance, storage and tensioning as well as a 5-Step Sheave/Pulley Alignment Procedure.

There is nothing “soft” about a soft foot—instead, it means machine frame distortion. The effects of machine frame distortion are numerous and potentially very damaging to the machine. This white paper explains in depth the causes and characteristics of soft foot conditions and how to diagnose and solve them.

There is more to proper shimming of a machine for alignment than meets the eye. There are several things you should keep in mind and look out for.

In this webinar, Terrence O’Hanlon, Editor, Uptime Magazine and Steve Lochard, Manager Special Projects, Ludeca, discuss how to aim asset condition management using the Uptime Elements system to get the most value from your assets. Steve Lochard provides valuable insight on the benefits of improving your alignment program.

Unbalance, misalignment, bearing failures, gear faults, motor electrical problems, etc. are typical faults experienced in all equipment. Identification and elimination of these faults and other issues are critical to maintaining the health of your plant equipment. Healthy equipment means lower maintenance cost, increased uptime, better product quality and a safer work environment for employees. Our laminated 24” x 36” wall chart will help you determine the most common equipment problems using vibration analysis as a diagnosis tool. Usually $50 each, but for a limited time, request your complimentary copy today!

An effective way to grease your bearings right.

An effective way to survey your systems and detect leaks.

The measurement of ultrasound with portable devices to provide an objective assessment of the health of a bearing has been well-documented over the last decade. In more recent times, the interconnection between a grease gun and an ultrasound instrument has taken this process one stage further.

This presentation reports on a further evolution – the use of an on-line monitoring system using contact ultrasound sensors to provide a continuous indication of the frictional state and early failure state of rolling element bearings. Case histories showing how this technology can be combined with remote lubrication of difficult-access bearings to provide instant feedback on the benefit or otherwise of individual shots of grease.

About the Book
The use of airborne ultrasound by a wide array of manufacturing has led many to dub ultrasound a predictive maintenance tool for the masses. It is a technology with mass appeal, a wide range of applications, and a cost entry point that makes it accessible to practically anyone.

In this book, the authors guide you through the technology step by step, with each chapter dedicated to an application and how the technology applies to that application. You will learn how the inspection should be carried out, along with real-life examples of how these applications are currently being applied.

Airborne and structure borne ultrasonic inspection provides industry with an efficient solution for all kinds of preventative and predictive maintenance functions.
