An accelerometer is a device used to measure acceleration. An accelerometer is used to measure vibrations by transforming the dynamic vibrations of a physical object into an output voltage. Accelerometers are used for low to high frequency measurements.
Acceleration is a parameter used to measure mechanical vibration. Acceleration is the rate at which the speed of an object changes over time.
In industry, we know several maintenance strategies: reactive maintenance, inspection maintenance, periodic maintenance, preventive maintenance, and finally predictive maintenance. For companies with many machines and installations, it is very important to make a good assessment per machine as to which strategy best suits. Logically, companies strive to minimize maintenance costs, but on the other hand, …
A Functional Safety Engineer is responsible for ensuring the safety of systems within an organization through the design, implementation, and validation of safety-related systems. Their primary goal is to prevent accidents and hazards that could potentially affect people, the environment, and the operation of equipment. This involves analyzing potential risks, designing safety measures to mitigate …
Condition Based Maintenance involves performing maintenance on a machine when measurements indicate that parts need replacing. By conducting periodic measurements on machines, a trend can be formed about the condition of a machine and its parts. Other names for this form of maintenance are predictive maintenance and condition-dependent maintenance. Benefits of Condition Based Maintenance The …
For rotating equipment, there are various forms of maintenance available, each with its own pros and cons. These include reactive maintenance, periodic maintenance, preventive maintenance, and finally predictive maintenance, also known as condition-dependent maintenance (CDM). In this form of maintenance, the status of a machine is measured during operation. The goal is to visualize and …
