Rotating Machinery
The 805 FC enables technicians to confidently track bearing impacting, bearing health, overall vibration level, overall machine health, and bear-ing surface temperature. Its proprietary algorithm known as “Crest Factor Plus” identifies bearing flaws much earlier than simpler vibration meters, and the option to share the results with others in your maintenance team using Fluke Connect® or download the results to an Excel spreadsheet for tracking and trending. It’s a tool you can trust, as its built-in database of overall vibration levels was developed from years of analyzing thou-sands of real machines. The 805 FC is designed to be used by any level technician and take readings during route-based maintenance, which can be screened for changes and potential problems over time. Repair-ing machines before they fail increases uptime while reducing energy waste and maintenance costs.

Using Fluke Thermal Imaging to Troubleshoot Motors & Drives
Infrared cameras, also called thermal imagers, are useful for troubleshooting motor problems as well as for monitoring motor condition for preventative maintenance in power generation, manufacturing and commercial plants. Thermal images of motors reveal their operating condition as indicated by surface temperature. Such condition monitoring is important as a way to avert many unexpected motor malfunctions in systems that are critical to manufacturing. The onset of motor failures can often be detected by a variety of techniques, including vibration, ultrasound and thermal imaging.

In this article, we cover why use thermal imaging and what to scan, as well as some notes on what to look for, including shaft misalignment.

Webinar: Facilities Maintenance with Fluke

Proactive maintenance and energy savings strategies are essential for cost savings in facilities.

We’ve teamed up with Fluke to provide you with a thorough discussion on proactive maintenance strategies – approaches, tools, and the proper “health” measurements on critical assets. As managing energy costs are also critical, we will also explore how implementing an onsite compressed air and gas leak detection program, facilities can save tens of thousands of dollars annually and production equipment downtime. The latest test equipment advances have made it possible for users to perform leak inspections with little to no training in a fraction of the time versus conventional tools.

During this short webinar on Facilities Maintenance, we covered:Monitoring critical assets with fewer resources Bridging the skills gapWhy are we replacing the same bearings and seals over and over?What are the best tools to use? How do we justify the cost of the tools and resources?How do we start a Proactive Maintenance program?
