Bearing Analysis In A Box

According to SKF, its Advanced Bearing Analysis Kit provides all the necessary equipment and consumables for oil and overall machine-vibration condition monitoring. Ready to use in a heavy-duty aluminum case, the kit’s main feature is the SKF Machine Condition Advisor (MCA) that simultaneously measures vibration and temperature to indicate machine health and bearing condition. Complementing the MCA is a lubrication assessment tool to provide accurate results for Water-in-Oil (lubricants) and Total Base Number (TBN) tests. The kit can also provide a simple “go/no go” result when the distillate fuel dilutions of an SAE 30 to 40 engine oil are tested and detect high insolubles from diesel-engine combustion products such as fuel ash, carbon, partially oxidized fuel, oil oxidation products and spent lubrication additive.

Fast-Response Axial Piston Pump

Parker Hannifin’s PV360 variable-displacement, 360 cc/rev axial piston pump is designed for heavy-duty mobile and industrial tasks with operating pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). Large servo pistons ensure a fast response for cranes and lifts, presses and metal-forming machines, hydraulic-power and marine applications. The company says these units produce 40-60% less pressure and flow pulsation than comparable pumps, reducing the chance of loosened connections and component damage.

Automated Tool-Control System

Snap-On’s automated Level 5™ ATC tool-control system combines a tool-storage box design with proximity-based keyless entry, a PC-based database and digital imaging technology. Each user’s key card is embedded with a user-specific code to identify who has accessed the system. As the unit is accessed, digital imaging technology scans each tool in the drawer to determine its status. Disputed tool transactions can display on the unit’s 7″ LCD or an administrator’s PC.

Easier Vibration Spectrum Analysis

Datastick says the extremely low noise floor of its VSATM Vibration Spectrum Analyzers makes it easy to differentiate real vibration from noise when measuring low amplitudes. These handheld analyzers are well suited for field service of pumps and compressors. VSAs can also be used to detect structural problems caused by vibration that could harm both sensitive data-center equipment and employee health.
