rotating equipment alignment problems. Some examples are:
- Motor to pump
alignment

diagnosis and correction
- Address thermal
growth calculations as necessary
Field Balancing
Our field balancing
technicians are fully trained in dynamic balancing techniques and specifications.
Corrections are made through weight removal and/or addition. They are
equipped with portable welding equipment to insure the job quality.
Predictive Maintenance - Condition Monitoring
Most rotating equipment failures
don't just happen. They develop slowly over time, almost imperceptibly,
as a result of friction... imbalance... and wear.
Today,
F. H. Ayer -- one of the Midwest's premier industrial services experts --
offers complete on-site monitoring and predictive maintenance. Through the
use of computer aided systems and on-site equipment, our technicians can
identify, analyze and head off problems that will cause you costly down
time.
The
condition monitoring system is precise and accurate. It measures the key
elements of the equipment performance: dynamic vibration, temperature, acceleration
and high frequency rolling sound. Minute changes are noted and analyzed,
then used to establish a written maintenance program to keep your equipment
operating at peak efficiency.
Preventive
Maintenance
Our technicians
are available to do periodic open and inspection upon request. We also
inspect support equipment and systems.
Installation
and Removal
As
a fully equipped service facility, F. H. Ayer is able to handle all aspects
of installation and removal. Our field technicians will remove and install
your equipment with care and accuracy. They will identify if a new foundation
or base is needed, or if a repair to it is sufficient. Our machining department
can make the necessary repairs or manufacture the new base, and our rotating
department will recondition the unit to proper specifications.
From
start to finish, F. H. Ayer is the only vendor you need to call.
