Technical Note from Dr. Mel Giberson, P.E. - TRI President
Have you experienced one or more of these rotor vibration or babbitt
bearing damage problems?
Rotors that exhibit high amplitude vibrations, either synchronous or
sub-synchronous, in a portion of the load range. Often times the problems
are attributed to certain valve positions, temperatures, pressures, flow,
alignment or speed conditions.
Rotors that can be balanced at one load, but cannot be balanced for all
loads or operating conditions.
Bearings which repeatedly "wipe" on start-up or shut-down, requiring
continued maintenance.
Bearings that exhibit wipes that start at one end of the bearing and
progress toward the other.
Sliding bearing pedestals/standards that do not slide properly and
cause bearing damage.
| TRI Align-A-Pad Bearings® are self-aligning and are virtually maintenance free for years. These bearings can be installed quickly. | TRI bearings are excellent for controlling vibration. Available for new applications or replacements for existing bearings in all rotating machinery. |
