Motion Magnification Real-Life ODS
Real life ODS is a new way to visualize the vibration of a machine in the same way you used to do it using conventional ODS. Thanks to the technology developed by Erbessd Instruments you can collect data with your accelerometers and after that, just take a picture and you’re ready to complete a motion magnification analysis.

Two Minute Tips
Avoiding Machine Failure with Oil Condition Monitoring
Lubricants, fuels and other key fluids analyses provide critical early warning information indicative of machine failure. By analyzing and trending data, one can schedule maintenance before a critical failure occurs. The results are higher equipment availability and productivity, lower maintenance costs, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), fewer outages, optimal equipment performance and a greener operation.

Electrical Reliability on the Grid Part V: Flywheel Storage
In the Federal government and commercial designs, there are a variety of designs including cylinders and solid mass systems. The mechanical components have lower failure rates with the effectiveness and reliability of magnetic and related guide bearings. The upper speed limit and resulting Watt-hour capability is based on the mechanical limits of the flywheel and shaft.
