A Great Machine for Teaching Bearing Faults & Balancing * Portable, robust, cost-effective balance and bearing vibration trainer. * Ideal for teaching multi-plane balancing with centerhung / overhung rotors * Can be setup to exhibit bearing fault frequencies both further away from, and closer to multiples of the shaft rotational speed (RPM) * Develop signal processing techiniques to identify bearing fault frequencies in the presence of defects, at multiples of shaft RPM, without using high-resolution spectra * Use the BBS to recognize the vibration spectra of different bearing faults * 10 different application specific study kits available The Bearing/Balancing Simulator (BBS) is specifically designed to demonstrate and support the study of bearing faults and unbalance under controlled conditions. The BBS is a variable speed machine that can be used to generate each type of fault individually or in combinations, providing a stable platform for study. Since bearing related problems are very common, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the associated fault signatures that occur under a variety of operating condtions. The same can be said for unbalance, where a properly balanced machine will save a factory on machine down time, replacement parts, inventory, and energy consumption. The ten option kits include: eccentric rotor, cocked rotor, bent shaft, 5/8" and 1" diameter bearing fault kits, 5/8" and 1" diameter bearing loaders, 5/8" diameter sleeve bearings, and tachometer with analog output. General: Overall Weight 27 lbs., 1/2 HP AC induction motor with variable speed drive to 4,000 RPM, 110/220 Volts, 60/50 Hz, split bracket bearing housings with features for span reconfiguration, precision machined baseplate with vibration isolators. Rotors: 2 aluminum with one row of 18 tapped holes. Safety: Clear impact resistant cover.
