Overview

Learn the history of the technology, theory of operation, and basic application considerations. Also included will be motor application recommendations for use with eddy current drives. The webinar will touch upon advantages offered by eddy current technology as well as some limitations or cautions.

This video will cover the following topics:

Fundamentals of vibration theory
Types of vibration
Vibration data management, display / plots (FFT – amplitude vs. frequency)
Vibration measurement, instrumentation
Most common vibration issues: imbalance & misalignment

This paper highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate acceptance grade for pump performance testing to satisfy the needs of its intended service.

This white paper is a guideline for the design and application of bearing housing systems for horizontal process pumps.

The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has published new American National Standards combining 1-series and 2-series standards into a single 14-series standards.
