Vibration produced by rolling bearings can be complex and can result from geometrical imperfections during the manufacturing process, defects on the rolling surfaces or geometrical errors in associated components. Noise and vibration is becoming more critical in all types of equipment since it is often perceived to be synonymous with quality and often used for predictive maintenance.
Rolling contact bearings are used in almost every type of rotating machinery, whose reliable operation very much depends on the type of bearing selected and the precision of associated components such as shafts, housings, spacers and nuts.

The revised KAYDON® Corporation ratings are derived from a new method of calculation developed specifically for thin section bearings. It integrates theoretical projections with actual test data instead of simply estimating bearing life as is the practice of other manufacturers. The KAYDON® Corporation Bearings Division is believed to be the first thin-section bearing manufacturer to adopt this methodology.
These ratings have been published by KAYDON® Corporation in a new edition of its product catalogue and are naturally included in the new REALI-DESIGN™ software that is available for download at www.kaydonbearings.com

ECOM AC Portable Emissions Analyzer
 The ECOM-AC emission analyser measures six gases and calculates all the common combustion parameters. It is a versatile and highly reliable tool for measuring the exhaust gases of virtually any fossil fuel fired combustion source. The AC can be used for maintenance and troubleshooting of commercial and industrial combustion systems, such as steam boilers, burners in process heaters, liquid and gaseous fuel fired reciprocating engines and turbines, and performance testing of combustion and pollution control devices. Known for its quick response, the AC analyser incorporates a high flow pump, a radiant gas cooler and a self-draining moisture trap to properly cool the gas samples and deliver precise samples to the sensors. Other features include a large, back-lit LCD display, on-board impact printer and automatic fresh air purge. |
Testo Flue Gas Analyzer Model 300M
 The Testo 300M flue gas analyzer is designed for day-to-day boiler and burner efficiency tuning of residential furnaces. User-friendly features include a large LCD display that lets you read the data while making furnace adjustments, and a handy infrared printer produces hard copy results on site. You can save and print at the touch of a button. The datalogging memory of this small, handheld unit holds up to 20 complete measurements. |
Testo 350 XL Portable Emission Analyzer
 Now available on rental or hire from Ashtead Technology the Testo 350 XL. With sample conditioning technology and electrochemical sensors, the Testo 350 XL is designed for short-term industrial stack gas monitoring, combustion analysis and Flue Gas Monitoring. The analyzer measures Oxygen (0 to 25%), Carbon Monoxide (0 to 10,000 ppm), Nitric Oxide (0 to 3,000 ppm), Nitrogen Dioxide (0 to 500 ppm), Sulfur Dioxide (0 to 5,000 ppm) and Temperature (-40 to 2,192 F) and calculates Carbon Dioxide (0 to CO2 max. volume %) and Efficiency (0 to 100%). The readings can be printed on board or saved by PC downloading. A complete Peltier gas preparation unit for controlled condensate removal is also standard. |
Testo 330-2 Flue Gas Analyser
 The new flue gas analyser generation offers Customer Service and Service Technicians all the features required to completely carry out the measurement tasks at hand. Regardless of whether in the context of breakdowns or emergencies, during the monitoring of legal limit values or during daily maintenance assignments, testo 330-2 is a reliable partner for the complete spectrum of measurement tasks. With the option of carrying out NOlow measurements on lowNOx burner systems, this check although not compulsory, but relevant for the environment - can be completed to highest efficiency levels. |
