Organized efforts directed towards ensuring long trouble-free operation of rotating and reciprocating machinery, or rotating machinery diagnostics, are now, more than ever, the focus of many industries. Process machinery, aircraft engines and automotive drive trains are examples of machines that are required to operate efficiently and safely, or the consequences can be catastrophic, both in terms of personal injury and operational costs.
The measurement and analysis of vibration is a cost-effective, non-destructive method of diagnosing the possible development of failure conditions. The SignalCalc family of Dynamic Signal Analyzers provides a wealth of measurement and analysis options, designed to make effective rotating machinery diagnostics efficient and accurate.
Vibrations in shaft systems housed in journal bearings require special measurement and analysis techniques. In diagnosing turbomachinery, the most fundamental measurements defining shaft motion in fluid filled bearings are derived from pairs of proximity probe displacement transducers placed orthogonally at each bearing location. Data Physics SignalCalc Turbo provides a comprehensive array of measurement and graphical tools designed to enable fast and effective diagnostics of such systems.
