| How
do I know how much vibration is acceptable for my application?
Typically, vibration
levels of 0.1 inch per second or less (measured in Velocity) are
acceptable for many types of rotating machinery. That's about 1
mil (measured in Displacement) for machinery operating at 2000 RPMs
or slower. The Balmac Vibration Severity Chart can help you
quickly determine acceptable vibration levels. The chart is FREE.
Available by E-mail.

| What
is Condition-Based Monitoring and how do I start a CBM program? |
| Condition-Based
Monitoring (CBM) is one type of maintenance program where operators
take periodic or continuous vibration measurements of in-plant machinery
and systems. These measurements are recorded and analyzed to look
for changes that indicate a machine or system
is not operating normally. Using CBM, operators should be able to
detect a problem, identify the location, and determine how quickly
it needs to be fixed to avoid a catastrophic failure. Balmac can help
you determine what tools you need to get started. Call us today to
discuss your requirements. |
