PdM-2008 Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference and Expo
Collocated with LubricationWorld
Sept 15-18 - Qwest Center Omaha Nebraska

PdM-2008 and LubricationWorld Keynote Address By Heinz Bloch, Author Practical Machinery Management for Process Plants

This one event provides a venue for all of the techniques and technologies required for reliable machinery operation.

PdM-2008 provides leading techniques and case studies for:
• Vibration Analysis
• Airborne Ultrasound
• Infrared Thermal Imaging
• Motor Testing
• Oil and Wear Particle Analysis
• Other condition monitoring technologies

World class best practices indicate that up to 50% of your maintenance activity should be spent on condition directed tasks to replace ineffective time based maintenance.

Finding and implementing the right combination of predictive maintenance and condition monitoring technologies is a challenge.

Like other Reliabilityweb.com conferences, PdM-2008 features a wide selection of pre-conference workshops, FREE Bonus Workshops, 16 different 60 minute short courses, dozens of focused learning zone sessions and plenty of networking opportunities with people who face the same issues you do on a daily basis.

This conference is designed for predictive maintenance beginners and seasoned condition monitoring professionals.

To learn more please call our conference specialists toll free (888) 575-1245

This second edition is the result of over 38 years of hard work and many thousands of hours of writing, testing, retesting, and testing again the alignment related formulas the author has developed on his own. It will make users work much easier and will assist them in making many dollars. It is sure to be valuable to novices and professionals alike!

Features
• Written by a mechanic for mechanics in a mechanic’s language.

• Provides loads of information, common sense tips, and methods and formulas that have been around for decades.

• Offers the “how-to’s”; along with the drawings, the formulas, and mathematical examples that address the “who”, “what”, “when”, “where”, “why”, and “how” in several dozen realistic incidents involving alignment work.

• Features valuable hints, practical tips, comments, and cautionary notes throughout to drive home each point.

• Covers at least 99% of the field alignment problems encountered by most mechanics.

Audel’s Electric Motors 6e is the one-stop complete reference for everything related to electric motors.

Targeted at the individual repairing, maintaining and installing motors. Coverage includes use, selection, operation, repair and maintenance. The book begins with explaining the principles of motor function, then covers the various types of motors, dealing with special types of motors, motor control, motor selection and replacement, motor repair tools, motor wiring, motion control and includes several sections on motor repair and maintenance, and motor troubleshooting.

Both text and illustrations are updated and reformatted for easy reading. Many motors books contain excessive math and calculus information making them difficult to understand. Audel’s Electric Motors contains only one chapter of motor math explained at the end, and the bulk of the book explains motor concepts without excessive math.

Features

• Motors that need to be repaired or installed are present in all residential and commercial buildings, factories, vehicles, HVAC systems and more.

• Updated with 50% new material.

• Contains easy to understand text not overloaded with math and calculus as most motors books are.

• Wide range of coverage makes book ideal for many readers: electricians, millwrights, machinists, mechanics, carpenters, pipefitters, maintenance and repair techs and engineers.

The chapters on vibration theory and frequency analysis lay the groundwork for the chapter on machine fault diagnostics based on vibration measurement and analysis.

A systematic approach is used here to guide the reader through a logical sequence of steps to determine a machine’s condition by detailed examination of vibration signatures.

This book also includes a comprehensive Vibration Terminology Glossary.

TECHNEKON’s STD-510 portable Data Collector is able to work with stroboscope. It allows to:

• Evaluate shaft rpm

• Evaluate velocity rms (or displacement pk-pk) of the fundamental frequency

• Evaluate phase value of the fundamental frequency (special marking not required)

• Build-in spectral analysis (3200 lines resolution)

• Use these data for machinery condition analysis and one-plane balancing

Very small and lightweight, easy-to-operate, free updates and low price.
