Acoustic Emission Testing

How Acoustic Emission Testing Enhances Equipment Safety and Reliability

Acoustic Emission (AE) testing is a non-destructive testing method used to assess the structural integrity of materials by detecting high-frequency sound waves produced when a material is stressed. These waves originate from localised areas within the material where changes such as cracking, corrosion, or deformation are occurring.  When a material is exposed to external forces […]

Couple unbalance

Couple Unbalance and Machinery Vibration in Rotating Machinery

Balancing is crucial for smooth running and longevity in rotating machinery. A rotor converts electric and electromagnetic energy into rotational motion, where the weights are equally distributed along its axis for unhinged operation. Imbalances will occur when one side has excess weight, which leads to uneven load distributions and machine vibration.  This imbalance generates a
