DOUBLE MACHINERY LIFE and SLASH MAINTENANCE COSTS!

Vibration: it stunts machinery life, forces expensive downtime, boosts energy costs, and triggers dangerous breakdowns. The solution? The unmatched balancing expertise in Victor Wowk's Machinery Vibration: Balancing—the one tool you need to measure, isolate, and reduce virtually any rotating component's vibration, resonance, ormisalignment problem. Use it to: Balance everything from ceiling fans to turbine engines—even nonrotating parts like engine pistons; Select and apply balancing sensors and systems for single-plane and two-plane balancing, 4-rin method without phase, static-couple method, and overhung and flexible-rotor balancing; Balance in the shop and out on site—even when disassemble isn't an option; Get top results from such vibration transducers as accelerometers, velocity pickups and proximity probes; Reduce vibration even when balancing doesn't work.

Editorial Reviews

A guide for mechanical engineers to balancing machinery in order to reduce production loss, maintenance costs, and downtime due to machinery failure. Some of the methods described require either inexpensive instruments or none at all; they include single- plane and two-plane balancing, the four-run method with phase, the static-couple method, flexible rotor balancing, and balancing nonrotating parts.
