A good mechanic knows that you need the right tool for the job, but a common problem with predictive maintenance (PdM) programs is that sometimes teams acquire a tool before fully understanding what problem needs to be fixed. When you have a hammer, all your problems look like nails, and what follows from this mistaken view is a whole list of reasons why PdM programs fail. Only when you really understand the problem does the solution become obvious. One major reason PdM programs fail is because...

Manufacturers know well the challenges that come when skilled workers retire. And in the current economic landscape, losing talent is one of the major hurdles that modern plants must overcome.  A recent report from Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute indicates that manufacturers may need up to 3.8 million new workers by 2033 , with nearly half of these positions potentially going unfilled if current labor gaps persist. This is largely due to experienced workers retiring and fewer skilled laborers...

Maintenance leaders are demanding alignment systems that can adapt to their assets, challenges, and teams From basic alignment jobs to more complex and difficult tasks, maintenance teams regularly face unique alignment challenges. Because machines and their misalignment problems vary greatly, teams today require hardware and software alignment systems that adapt to virtually any situation in the field. They also need tools that adjust to the experience and skill levels of different team members...

Every machine has its own vibration signature, and changes in a machine’s vibration can indicate potential faults. Different types of vibration sensors mounted on motors and other equipment can detect when and how a machine’s vibration changes. That vibration monitoring data can be analyzed and trended to help maintenance teams plan and prioritize their work. There are multiple types of vibration sensors available, with options for many applications and budgets.  Types of Vibration Sensors...

There’s nothing like losing $3 million in two days to make you rethink the importance of alignment. I learned this the hard way when two vital cooling water pumps suddenly failed at a plant I was working at, grinding operations to a halt.  It took two days — and $1.5 million in lost revenue each day — before the facility was back up and running.What caused the crash? The coupling on the pumps ate itself, causing them to vibrate. It had not been aligned properly.This isn’t just a cautionary...

Every rotating asset produces vibrations. Some level of vibration is normal, but changes in vibration patterns can signal potential problems – well before those problems become apparent in other ways. Ever since the first motorized piece of machinery was built, maintenance teams have been measuring vibration patterns, which can signal a change in the machine’s functioning.Today, vibration measurement tools are highly sensitive and easy to use. They can pick up on even the tiniest change in vibration...

Every megawatt that a data center consumes doesn’t just strain the grid — it stresses the mechanical and electrical systems that keep servers online.

Manually collecting vibration data once a month with a data collector does not always provide enough information for proper analysis of equipment problems. In many cases, the problem doesn’t occur when the technician takes a vibration reading, or the amount of data is not sufficient for detecting problematic trends.  Using a remote monitoring solution to collect more frequent data for analysis can greatly improve the success of a predictive maintenance program and enable analysts to catch problems...

Correct diagnosis of rotating machinery faults relies on complete information about vibration spectral data. Since machines generally have three degrees of freedom of lateral motion, good science and logic suggest that data from all three axes will provide more information if we can analyze it properly.  In this article, we’ll demonstrate the improved diagnostic capability provided by collecting triaxial data compared to single-axis radial data mixed with some axial data.What Are the Three Orthogonal...

“Close enough” alignment can be a costly assumption. In paper manufacturing machines, minor misalignments often go undetected in critical areas, such as the press, dryer, and wire sections. Even slight deviations can disrupt tension, cause tracking issues, and accelerate wear. However, detecting these shifts during operation is tricky. Signs like telescoping rolls, uneven felt stretch, or added bearing stress often only appear after issues have progressed significantly. Such subtle misalignments...
