🛳️ One of our senior Engineers Stuart Walker was out in the field this week setting up another wireless vibration system for one of our customers using Sensoteq 10kHz ATEX Kappa X vibration sensors. 💡Great application for this IOT technology monitoring critical pumps on an oil terminal and separate remote pumping station. As the pumps only run as ships are offloading or oil products need transporting these are difficult pumps to monitor using routine walk round VA routes. With the Kappa X data is collected every minute in three Axis with temp so we can ensure these machines are monitored effectively at any time of the day. 🚦Once we have some running data we will be able to set alarms and trigger email or SMS alerts when alarm parameters are broken. ℹ️ For more information on this technology, click here: https://lnkd.in/eJiaG63i #IOT #wirelessvibration #vibrationanalysis #conditionmonitoring #oilgas #petrochemical

🔍 Tackling Low-Speed Trunnion Bearing Issues in Critical Dryer Systems In this longer case-study presented at IMVAC some years ago, Dean tackled a challenging issue with trunnion bearings in a low-speed dryer system, critical to a high-value DDGS production line. These bearings, essential to plant operations, required an innovative monitoring solution due to the system’s ultra-slow operational speeds (9.5 RPM). 📈 Key Insights: ● Traditional vibration analysis struggled at these low speeds. We adopted PeakVue technology, sensitive to bearing defects, looseness, and gear faults, to capture subtle stress waves and impactful data. ● The bearing showed increasing PeakVue levels, pinpointing an inner race defect. Modulation at shaft speed frequencies confirmed internal bearing degradation. ● Timely intervention, replacing the failing bearing during a scheduled shutdown, prevented unplanned outages and ensured continuous plant productivity. 📧 This case study demonstrates how tailored condition monitoring and advanced data analysis can optimise reliability in critical, low-speed equipment.

📸 In this week's #MAMonday post, Stuart Walker shares a great example of how Motion Amplification® technology can be used in the Oil & Gas Industry to scan large areas of piping and instrumentation for potential safety issues. 🏭 If you would like to see this technology used on your own assets, get in touch with the MA team online at: https://lnkd.in/dz5Fh2E, or send an email to: info@motionamplification.co.uk. #motionamplification #vibrationanalysis #oilandgas #healthandsafety

💡 For those new to the channel, or the topic of vibration analysis, here is an interesting resonance video-post combining multiple CM technologies: 💬 Stuart Walker “Resonance issues are a big problem in industry, especially as more drives are converted to variable speed, making this problem more likely to occur. Often seen at 1X of the machine but not always. 📈 Fantastic example here of how destructive resonance problems can be on industrial assets. The customer had numerous issues and failures with a drive system, including multiple motor changes and base modifications with little effect on the problem vibration. RDI Technologies Inc.'s IRIS M™ Motion Amplification® camera survey clearly showed a very directional rocking motion of the motor at 1XRPM. The base was not loose but severely flexing, causing cracking on welds, mostly dipping down on the right-hand side where the base was weakest. 📉 We carried out bump tests with the drive offline using the MA camera and a transient coastdown with my Emerson's Automation Technologies & Solutions AMS 2140 Analyser, confirming a resonance at 1465 CPM, very close to the operating speed of 1489 RPM. As the customer could not shut down for 12 months to improve the base, we opted for a temporary repair by adding 350Kg of mass to the motor to lower the natural frequency away from the 1489 RPM operating speed. This worked well and reduced the vibration levels from 25mm/sec to 8mm/sec, significantly reducing the stress on the frame and machine until the base can be modified.” 📚 To learn more about the technologies used in this case example, see the comments below or email the team at info@rms-reliability.com. #vibrationanalysis #drivesystem #bumptests #ams2140 #irism
