Smart Design Makes the Simulator Robust and Easy to Use
The Simulator is designed so that it’s both easy to operate and
versatile. The instrument is constructed with special kinds of bearings, rotors
with split collar ends, a split bracket bearing housing, multi-purpose belt tensioning
and gearbox mounting mechanism, and reciprocating system, all of which make it
easy to remove and replace various components for specific types of tests. Here
are just a few of the design features that make the Machinery Fault Simulator
easy to use without sacrificing the performance you need.
Design and Construction
- Precision machined parts with high tolerances
- Modular design for easy upgrades and customization as a "Test
Bed"
- Rigid, slippage-free operation using typical components from manufacturing.
Removing and Replacing Parts
- Split bracket bearing housing for easy rotor assembly interchanges
- Specialized bearings and rotors with split collar ends for easy replacement and installation
- Main shaft slides without removing mounted components for easy changes
- Couplings, rotors, bearings, shaft, pulleys, and belt can be changed without removing bearing housing

Applying the Simulator to a Broad Range of Situations
- Five pairs of jacking bolts included for studying misalignment
- Built-in high resolution circular dials for studying calibrated controlled misalignment
- Opposed jacking bolts included for easy re alignment
- Vibration isolators and base stiffener for studying foundation design
- Multi-belt drive, tensioning mechanism and gearbox system
- Machine design allows various studies of rotor dynamics:
- 10 different rotor assembly span configurations
- 6 different rotor span lengths
- Easy to install additional bearing housing for stiffer rotor system
- Resonance kit available
- Possible to install heavier and/or extra rotor to change mass
- Comprehensive manual with application notes, training exercises, and theory
- Gear Arrangement Magnetic Brake Indicator Setup
