Early failure detection and analysis on today’s complex machine systems could mean cost savings in the long run for companies. Rochester Institute of Technology engineering students built a dynamic ...

Conventional compressor bearings - for example, leaded-bronze, rolling element or bi-metal bushings - will be significantly affected by wear in marginally lubricated environments at bearing locations ...

Applying vibration modelling in gas turbines to fault monitoring of the same equipment can assist maintenance planning and extend system life. Bearings are responsible for vibratory phenomena in gas ...

One of the newer technologies involves twin screw compressors. This article will look at service-related aspects of such a unit. The screw compressor is a positive-displacement rotary mach-ine.

Opening up running clearances in sleeve bearings helps prevent seizing when oil runs dry. Niskayuna, N.Y. A large commercial air conditioner turns on after sitting over winter, but its compressor ...
