Monitoring the oil gap in hydrostatic bearings

Hydrostatic bearings rely on an externally pressurized system to transmit force from a rotating shaft to a stationary surface.

The gap between the rotating shaft and the static surface is designed to allow for theoretically infinite machinery lifespan.

In machine terminology, the oil gap refers to the space between the shaft and bearing surface that’s filled with the vital, lubricating cushion of oil.

Maintaining a healthy oil gap is a vital consideration for the maintenance engineer to ensure minimal contact force between the stationary and rotating elements of the bearings.

Therefore, any changes in the oil gap may drastically affect the health and performance of the machines.

This whitepaper discusses in depth a range of sensors used for monitoring hydrostatic bearing health such as proximity probes, temperature sensors and accelerometers.

How to deal with accelerometer noise

Noises are common in test and measurement applications. They are undesired signals that are generated by the combination of electrical and mechanical components of sensors and hardware devices. The noises present in acceleration measurement can be generated from the accelerometers, signal amplifiers or cables.

At many applications, noise can be dealt with by using a signal conditioner to filter the unwanted data before transmitting the signals to the computer. However, it can present a major problem for seismic monitoring or other specific tests that are unable to tolerate noise.

This whitepaper discusses how manufacturers have designed a low noise accelerometer to cater to such applications.

Pre-packaged smarts: How to get your factory Industry 4.0 ready with a simple, modular solution

Dave Delany from ifm Australia likens the process of digitalising a factory to that of a kitchen pantry. The pantry may be filled with ingredients, but without a recipe or cooking experience, how do you go about prepping a meal? Where do you start?

According to Delany, you don’t need to have the equivalent of a chef’s expertise in IT to get your business Industry 4.0 ready. Read more on how ifm has created a simple platform and ready-to-go software package that will protect what’s important to you, and allow you to start small, and scale fast.

Working Around Welders

In 2017, the International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC) reclassified welding fume as carcinogenic. These risks apply not only to welders, but also the non-welders who work in close proximity to them. As such, it is important for workers and businesses to educate themselves on the dangers of welding fume, as well as the available protective options.

Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) are highly effective product control options in limiting exposure to welding fume for non-welders.

Accurate placement on the can

The new rotary applicator from Geyssel Sondermaschinen GmbH attaches up to 30, 000 objects such as drinking straws, spoons or forks to cups, cans or bottles per hour. And it always positions these items so that neither the logo nor the product information are covered – while also ensuring that safety isn’t put at risk despite very high process speeds.

Modernising Manufacturing in the Food & Beverage Industry with Industrial Grade HMIs & Panel PC Technology

Australia’s food and beverage processing industries are worth approximately $26 billion to the economy and employ almost 235,000 people. It is a vital industry because it not only produces goods for the local market, it is also a net exporter of foodstuffs and beverages. When combined with the related industries of agriculture, forestry and fishing, then the figure balloons to almost $54 billion.

Webinar on Demand: How Can Food and Beverage Producers Benefit from the Digital Transformation of the Laboratory?

Many food producers are leveraging digital technology, such as Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), to ensure product quality, consumer safety and brand security.

In this webinar, Daren Cumberbatch, Thermo Fisher Scientific Sales Manager – Digital Science, Australia and New Zealand and June Tham, Thermo Fisher Scientific Sales Manager – Digital Science, South East Asia look at how food and beverage laboratories are utilising digital technologies to do the following:

  1. Ensure full traceability from raw materials to finished product release
  2. Combat food adulteration and promote brand protection through industry best practices for counterfeit product identification
  3. Expedite qualification and quantification of contaminants, unknowns and markers with the latest lab instrumentation and data management solutions
  4. Identify product quality issues and their root causes before inferior or potentially damaging products are released to market.
