A new twist in torsional vibration shaft monitoring
Entergy invited Suprock to install our TDMS system at their plant due because our wireless powered telemetry is capable of measuring torsional vibrations long term. They have a new upgraded turbine en route and are using the TDMS system to ensure smooth operation till it’s time to install the new rotor train. It was a … Continue reading Waterford 3: Another successful TDMS install
We would like to extend a thank you to Harold Breitbach of Energiforsk Thermal Engineering Research Institute for including our TDMS system in their report about torsional vibrations in nuclear steam turbine applications. “Vibration problems in nuclear power plants can originate from different sources. One of these is torsional vibrations in shaft trains, which have … Continue reading TDMS torsional vibration system featured in report by Energiforsk

This was a particularly challenging telemetry installation that we had the pleasure of solving for AEP nuclear. The installation was conducted in-situ in a bearing housing betwixt an oil deflector plate and the housing wall. The cook bearing 5 site was the grave of previous mortal attempts at telemetry measurements- This was a job for … Continue reading AEP DC Cook Unit 2 install
