Rotating Equipment Maintenance
Pumps, blowers, mixers and drives — the moves that keep them turning and the early warning signs of failure.
Mechanical Seals
Most modern plant pumps run mechanical seals — a sealed but delicate component with predictable failure modes.
Coupling Alignment
Misalignment between motor and pump is the leading cause of premature bearing and seal failure on most plant pumps.
Bearing Lubrication
Bearings fail from both under- and over-greasing — over-lubrication is the more common operator error, not under.
Vibration Monitoring
Vibration analysis is the single best early-warning tool for rotating equipment failure — but it only works if you make trends.
