Vertical Pumps

Vertical Pumps

Vertical pumps, used in many industries, are often driven by variable speed motors. Since they are essentially cantilevered mounted, structural natural frequencies become a problem when they fall within the operating frequency range of pump.

Tub Grinder

Tub Grinder

This unit is used to grind up large tree stumps, scrap wood, and any other brush. Due to the large torque pulses associated with grinding, high amplitude vibrations will develope causing large forces on the mechanical elements.

 
Turbine Generator

Turbine Generator

Routine vibration measurements should be made on the rotating (permanent sensors for protection) and stationary parts of the units. It is important to record startup and coast down vibration data for future diagnostics.
