Eddy Current (Proximity Probe) Transducer Installation: Part 1 Radial Vibration Eddy Current (Proximity Probe) Transducer Installation: Part 1 Radial Vibration Eddy Current Transducers (Proximity Probes) are the vibration transducer of choice when installing vibrat Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation Improve Reliability and Performance with a TSI from STI Vibration Monitoring STI’s Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) Systems provide cont Field Application Note: Reverse Dial Alignment Courtesy of STI Vibration Monitoring Inc. www.stiweb.com Misalignment can be the most usual cause for unacceptable operation and high vibration levels. New facilities or new equipm Balancing Balancing Unbalance is a very common source of high vibration that is identified by excessive levels of vibration amplitudes at a frequency that is synchronous with machine speed. Possib Eccentricity Eccentricity Shaft Eccentricity plays a very important role as part of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) System on large steam turbines and should be included in retro-fit p Fault Detection / OK Circuits Fault Detection / OK Circuits Over the years, two methods of vibration transducer fault detection have become prominent: OK Circuits and Fault Detection Circuits. The objective of b Journal Bearings Journal Bearings Industrial machinery with high horsepower and high loads, such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps and motors, utilize journal bearings as rotor supports. Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors are utilized in all manufacturing industries. Because these machines are capable of providing high pressure along with variable loading, Reverse Dial Alignment Reverse Dial Alignment Mis-alignment can be the most usual cause for unacceptable operation and high vibration levels. New facilities or new equipment installations are often plagued Thrust Position Thrust Position Thrust Position Monitoring was one of the earliest applications for Eddy Current Transducers. When utilized for this application, it is one of the most important componen Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation 1 Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation 1 Specification of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) system can be an exhausting process when the individual parameters must be specified Lubrication - Glossary of lubrication terms Maintenance knowledge: Lubrication - Glossary of lubrication terms Thickener or soap Thickener or soap is the system, which holds the oil and/or additives together to enable the lubricati
