Understanding Vibration Monitoring and Analysis
Vibration testing for condition-based maintenance, to reduce costs and production losses. Mechanics of testing, analyzing roller bearing faults.
What is an Industrial Vibration Sensor?
Maintenance professionals may not realize how using vibration sensors can improve facility efficiency. Learn about which industrial sectors can benefit from vibration sensors.
Most common causes of machine vibration
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.
Top 10 industrial applications for remote vibration sensors
Vibration screening helps maintenance and reliability teams avoid rotating machine failure.
Understanding the practicality of graded asset health
Identifying the severity of a problem by looking at data can be difficult. Color-coded, varying severity alarms enable maintenance managers to make better data-driven decisions.
Guide to machine faults and how to get to root cause
90 percent of machine faults fall into four main categories: misalignment, imbalance, looseness, or bearing wear. Using root cause analysis can help you identify where a problem began and what caused it.
3 ways to improve motor health with vibration testing
One would be hard-pressed to find a facility manager who doesn’t want maintenance operations to run as smoothly as possible. Detecting signs of motor components failure becomes easier when combined with a preventive vibration program.
5 ways condition monitoring can improve your maintenance program
Wireless sensors paired with condition monitoring software can improve reliability programs, decrease costs and increase uptime.
3 asset diagnostic challenges condition monitoring helps solve
Limited resources can make monitoring all vital plant equipment difficult, if not impossible. That’s where a condition monitoring system with wireless sensors monitoring comes in.
When and how to use and set up vibration monitoring on assets

Inspect moving machinery by putting the 'freeze' on
New stroboscope helps frontline mechanical troubleshooting teams precisely measure machine rotation and oscillation without shutting down the equipment.
Software reveals power of data to more maintenance managers
CNX 3000 wireless test tool field trial by electrical contractor AECI in industrial facilities: trouble call applications
No expertise required: Setting up aerospace vibration sensor
To use vibration sensors, many maintenance and reliability personnel believe they have to be a vibration expert. For some sensors, this may be true. However, for the 3561 FC Vibration Sensors paired with Fluke Connect™ Condition Monitoring (FCCM) software, expertise is not required.
Which assets should be screened for vibration?
Figuring out which assets should be screened for vibration can be difficult. Installing vibration monitoring sensors on key assets can increase uptime and reduce costs.
From screwdrivers to testers: Vibration analysis comes of age
Most machines have rotating parts, and rotating parts vibrate. Measuring how and how much those parts vibrate can tell you a lot about the health of a machine.
Top 5 benefits of vibration monitoring
Screening is an economical way to monitor assets by automating data collection. Learn more about the benefits of implementing vibration monitoring in your plant.
Taking a Wireless Approach Gets to the Root of the Problem Faster
Follow the experiences with wireless test tools of electrician Chipper Stohl of AECI, as he works primarily in emergency troubleshooting and repair, with some installation and maintenance.
