The MCRT® 79700V dual-range torquemeters from S. Himmelstein have two ranges with independent outputs, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of swapping between two or more conventional torquemeters when production is switched between different products. The product accurately measures torque even if the ratio of peak to average is high.

Alternative To Standard Oil Sight Windows

Esco says that the standard sight win-dows on oil reservoirs make it difficult to view oil levels, stain easily and often must be replaced. To address those problems, the company now offers a replacement sight window plug called the 3-D BullsEye. It’s a clear cylinder made from a solid piece of acrylic, with threading on one end and a rounded polished end for easier viewing of the oil on the other. NPT sizes of ½”, ¾”, 1″, 1 ¼”, 1 ½” and 2″ are available.

Online Mechanical Seal Management

EagleBurgmann has introduced SEPROnet, an online seal-management program built on the company’s own in-house service software program. Now, instead of depending on Excel spreadsheets for seal-data documentation, end-users can access SEPROnet in real-time from any Web browser and view the status of a site’s entire mechanical seal population. Featuring an easy-to-use navigation interface and an extensive range of customizable evaluations and reports, the software can help a site maintain crucial production schedules and streamline maintenance, while minimizing parts inventory and related costs. Among other things, it automatically generates fault reports through e-mail alerts; furnishes statistical analyses of failures and details of damage; documents retrofits and technical upgrades; offers monitoring of repair costs; builds audit trails for improvement processes; and provides recommendations for preventive maintenance, as well as trending to identify problems before they occur.

Control Troublesome Oil Mist And Fumes

JLM Systems’ Oilmiser™ Vapor Guard (OVG) is designed for machinery like gearboxes and bearing housings that are vented to atmosphere. Under continuous operation and high working loads, oil mist and fumes build up in the air space above the oil. Temperature changes and thermal expansion cause these fumes to exhaust into the workplace and also bring in outside air through the same vent. The OVG helps prevent the serious housekeeping and mechanical problems associated with this situation by way of a central diffuser post inside a sealed aluminum containment chamber. Migrating vapors are dispersed inside the chamber and condensed back into liquid oil that collects at the bottom of the unit. From here, recovered and uncontaminated lube oil is channeled through bleed-back holes into the gearbox, where it continues to lubricate.
