Vibration testing for condition-based maintenance, to reduce costs and production losses. Mechanics of testing, analyzing roller bearing faults.
Sometimes vibration in industrial equipment is a symptom or even a cause of trouble; other times, it is part of normal machine operation.
Vibration can result from a number of conditions, acting alone or in combination. Keep in mind that vibration problems might be caused by auxiliary equipment, not just the primary equipment.
Learn how infrared cameras measure heat signatures and use color palettes, spatial resolution, and proper focus to create a thermal image.
Infrared (IR) thermometers enable you to measure temperature quickly, at a distance, and without touching the object you're measuring. They are so useful, easy, and even fun to use that they have become as common in kitchens as they have on factory floors. Infrared thermometers are often used to find overheated equipment and electrical circuits, but they have hundreds of other uses.
The electrical power issues that most frequently affect industrial plants include voltage sags and swells, harmonics, transients, and voltage and current unbalance. The proper tools to correct these issues include knowledge and electrical test instruments ideally suited for each task.
Find out how the pass/fail testing function captures random glitches.
The Fluke 15x7 Series Insulation Multimeter is a new category of test tool that combines a full featured True RMS DMM and a megohmmeter. It's an integrated tool for maintaining and troubleshooting motor systems, electrical distribution, and production equipment.
Duty cycle is the ratio of time a load or circuit is ON compared to the time the load or circuit is OFF.
Ohm’s Law is a formula used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electrical circuit.
A diode is a semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current.
