• Magnetic bearings support rotating shafts in five axes without solid or fluid lubricants. • Advances in electronics allow previously bulky controllers to mount on or near rotating machinery. • ...

The seals used for most bearings typically go unnoticed until something goes wrong, which often results in unexpected downtime. However, as lifecycle costs and energy savings become increasingly ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...
