Noise and Vibration Control Goes to the Animals
and vibration control is an issue that is much more common than one might originally think. In fact, it can creep up in the most unlikely of places. A good case in point is animal lab environments. Indeed, ALN Magazine recently ran an article titled “Noise & Vibration Considerations for the Animal Lab Environment.” Therein, the publication pointed out, “In the lab animal facility setting, noise, sound, and vibration affect the life cycle, interaction, and behavior of animals.” However, because “the impact of noise, sound, and vibration is a largely undocumented factor in the research,” it’s an often overlooked issue. “If the sound pressure levels...

Qualities of Effective Active Noise Cancellation Products
Noise cancellation earphones have become popular tools for helping airplane and other vehicle passengers tune out the world outside and tune in to their own thoughts or sleep. However, noises cancellation earphones are hardly helpful in most industrial situations since workers must still be able to hear a wide range of audio frequencies in their immediate environments. Are there active noise cancellation products that work effectively without the use of earphones? The answer is yes. Here are some of the qualities to look for in non-earphone active noise cancellation (ANC) products. -- They work throughout an entire space In order to provide a comfortable yet safe workplace, ANC products must provide...
VIR will exhibit at the Expocomfort to introduce the new line of dynamic balancing valves.
VIR - Valvoindustria Ing. Rizzio Spa -, a leading Italian company producer of valves, will exhibit at the 37th edition of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, that will be held in Fiera Milano - Rho from the 23rd until the 27th of March 2010. During the exhibition, VIR will introduce, other than the already well known line of static balancing valves, the new line of dynamic balancing valves. This kind of valves keeps flow constant at a preset value, without need for external tuning, even after eventual modifications in the system layout. Regulation is obtained by mean of plastic cartridge specifically designed for each flow. Besides, all valve parts in contact with water are in DZR brass, cartridge is made...
FAQ's About Anti Vibration Mounts
It is highly likely that the majority of the population has never heard of anti vibration mounts before. However, it is also very probable that most people have encountered them at some point in their lives because they are used in so many different things. There are many incidences where anti vibration mounts may be needed including the use in standby power generation, Formula 1 racing cars, medical equipment and even in military equipment. The reason why this tool is so important is because it prevents excessive wear and tear on the equipment that it is supporting. The first question that most people will have is why vibration isolation is so important and why you would need to use anti vibration...
Observations of an ANC Industry Insider 1 of 3 Active Noise Cancellation vs. Passive Noise Cancellation Any time I am asked what I do in a social setting I have to brace my self for a lot of blank looks. In the beginning I would answer with a very forthright; "We produce active noise cancellation systems for heavy industry." This was always followed by a lengthy silence until some brave soul would say, "So you make insulation?" or something to that effect. To the lay individual, when confronted with the words active noise cancellation, all they really hear is noise cancellation, and they fall back on their previous experience to help them categorize what I do, that generally means insulation. In...
DKN Pro Evolve Vibration Trainer Review
The Pro Evolve machine has been around for a while, therefore is well tried and tested. It does everything is says 'on the tin'. It has an averaged-sized platform; a smooth running motor, very user-friendly functionality and it is in the medium/ lower price range. As with most DKN vibration plates it has 4 different pre set programmes for working Upper body, Lower Body, Abdominal muscles or a Total Body workout. Each programme feature 16 different positions or exercises that will also be graphically displayed on the console which is a very interesting and useful feature especially for the not so highly experienced user. The vibration frequency spans from 20Hz to 50 Hz and can be set in 5HZ...
Power Plate MY5 Vibration Trainer Review
This is by far my most preferred Power Plate for home or office use. It has all the features you will need to get yourself into top shape. The operating face is very clear and the setting symbols are easy to understand. The platform is of significant size and allows for movement in all directions and the non-slip surface will give you the confidence to change feet positioning during a time sequence. The Power Plate My 5 offers 3 different vibration frequencies from 30 Hz, over 35Hz to 40 Hz, with high and low intensity options and two timer settings (30 sec and 60 sec). The best feature is the Incremental adjustment you can make to the vibration frequency. You can go up in 1Hz increments from 30 Hz...
Golf Shaft Torque - What You Need to Know
OK, so you've heard and read enough about golf shaft torque to fill the National Library of Congress - and what have we learned? Well, I can share with you what I have learned and not everyone will agree with; but here is my two cents worth. There's more shaft torque than what is on the specification sheet, which is what most club builders rely on, and that's what I want to discuss in this article. First of all, when it comes to designing a golf shaft, and, more specifically a golf club, there are two areas of physics we must contend with: static and dynamic functions. Static testing is generally done without motion or activity, such as checking the flex or torque; both of which are done by simply...

What is Vibration Monitoring?
Vibration monitoring is simply a way of monitoring the condition of a rotating machine such as a HVAC unit, it has been around since the 70's and is recognized throughout the world as the most versatile technology for determining the mechanical condition of a rotating machine. It is used primarily on rotating plant to detect common problems such as misalignment, bearing wear, resonances and broken or loose parts which can be key indicators of the state of a particular machine. The aim of such vibration analysis is to find problems before they result in unexpected machine failure resulting in high replacement costs. As a result vibration monitoring is very straight forward and is at the forefront of...
