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.

About this title

Product Description:

If you're responsible for the production, installation, or maintenance of equipment, this practical, how-to guide offers proven methods for balancing machinery in order to reduce production loss, maintenance costs, and expensive downtime due to machinery failure. From the fundamentals of balancing to the latest advanced techniques, the book explains the full range of mass balancing methods in use today, including balancing with no instruments; single-plane balancing; the four-run method without phase; two-plane balancing; the static-couple method; flexible rotor balancing; and balancing nonrotating parts."Machinery Vibration: Balancing" shows you how to implement simple methods to mass balance without expensive instruments, and explores such topics as the vestor mathematics of balancing, mass centering, index balancing, and designs for balance weights. Featuring hundreds of illustrations, real-world case studies, and worked-out problems, this essential on-the-job reference will give you the information and know-how required to solve any balancing problem on any piece of equipment.

Review:

...intended as a companion text for students, technicians, and engineers involved in a vibration workshop. The author, Victor Wowk, achieves his goal and more. ...this book is well organized and easy to read; for someone seeking a good grounding in the basics of modern vibration measurement and analysis, this is well worth a week of after-hours reading.''
