Hi Fixerup,

Why was the bearing loose on the shaft? Was a taper lock loose or was the shaft worn and if so was the fit repaired? Even if you made the shaft repair, this most likely wasn't the...

Captinsano and jdcoolj are right on all counts. I just want to repeat that a good vibration analyst will be able to tell you if the source of the problem vibration is imbalance; misalignment;...

In my experience, when air handlers are shaking it's almost always unbalance. It's actually rare that I walk up to a fan assembly that is properly balanced.

I'm NOT an HVAC guy (as those that know me can tell you) but can't you check flow across the coils, or pressure drop, or something, to determine if they're blocked?

I'm definitely biased but I...

Yes sir! In a couple more years I'll be changing my screen name to JoeVegas.

TunaGuy - I sent you an email about your CSI stuff.
I demo'ed an older version Commtest box but I've not played with the VB7. It was a single channel box, maybe a 3000 or VB5, I can't remember. At...

Tunaguy is right on both counts. Commtest makes some good equipment, quite a few of the Trane offices use it. And it takes a lot of work to get good at vibe analysis. If you go at it half-hearted you...

Most large industrial sites and a lot of smaller ones are doing vibration analysis, either in-house or through a contractor. Like you said, being able to predict failures and to make small repairs...

Hi Who,

The data collector I use can be seen at http://www2.emersonprocess.com/en-US/brands/csitechnologies/pva/csi2130/Pages/CSI2130MachineryHealthAnalyzer.aspx

Hi Tx,

I think the DFW class happened in 2007, just before I started teaching my classes but it was done by a good friend of mine from Mobius. I know all of the people at Mobius very well and, in...

Hi Teckster,

My intent for this post was to get to Trane techs that might not hear about my Trane classes. I try to notify as many offices as I can but sometimes it seems that the info doesn't...

The fine folks that run this site have allowed me to post this notice.

My name is Joe Gurney and I am a certified Level 4 vibration analyst and Level 3 vibration analysis Instructor working out...

Do you have the serial number? I'm not sure I can help but I'll try.

Jay,

I sent you current contact info by email. Give me a call.

The more I read this board the more impressed I am with the depth of talent and information that's here. I'm still wading through the Pro forums. if I'm not careful I may end up understanding what...

Thanks for all of your responses. I didn't mean to try to rush things, I was just curious. This is a really good board and I'm looking forward to seeing what the Pro side has to offer.

Thanks.

I applied for pro membership about two weeks ago and I was wondering if someone could tell me how long it normally takes to hear something?

Thanks - Joe

Sorry I didn't post earlier. I stay on the road a lot and don't always have time to look at the message boards. I saw your first posts but I wasn't sure what you were asking.

Your motor guy is right. 3 phase AC motors don't have armatures in them they have squirrel cage rotors. Armatures are found in DC motors and small AC motors like in power tools. There is no...

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

Thanks. I'll add it to the list.

The person that I was asking for is located on the island Malta. I'm not sure what resources they have there. I think websites may be his best bet, but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the recommendations!! I'll pass them along.

Joe

Thank you, sir. I will look into that. - Joe
