Training: Bearing Currents (English) August 28th, 2023 – Herentals
Training: Bearing Currents (English) August 28th, 2023 – Herentals https://orbits.be/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/bearing_currents.mp4 Bearing currents persistently flow through many of our invertor-fed machines, which can often lead to catastrophic failure. The literature is not always clear about the solution, and the problem itself is not always easy to understand. That’s why Orbits is offering a training in English […]

While keeping our presentation topic a cliffhanger, we invite you to download last year’s thought-provoking presentation on ‘The Dark Side of Variable Frequency Drives’ below! […]
The Diagnosticians’ Dilemma: Balancing Signals and Context in Electric Drivetrain Diagnostics
The Diagnosticians’ Dilemma: Balancing Signals and Context in Electric Drivetrain Diagnostics In the world of electric drivetrain diagnostics, it’s crucial to strike a balance between measurement techniques and understanding the broader context. While capturing the right signals is undeniably important, it’s only a fraction of the diagnostic process. Context holds the key to unlocking meaningful […]
Striking the Right Chord: Bump testing in machinery diagnostics
Striking the Right Chord: Bump testing in machinery diagnostics Resonance frequencies play a crucial role in the health of rotating machines. While bump testing and impact testing share a similar concept, they differ in their approach. Bump testing focuses on only identifying resonance frequencies by exciting multiple frequencies simultaneously, whereas impact testing is commonly used […]
Unlocking Motor Insights
Unlocking Motor Insights Today, we’d like to discuss how you can perform a comprehensive measurement using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) for your motor analysis. This technique allows us to gather crucial insights by measuring both the three-phase current and voltages. To measure the current accurately, you have several options e.g. current transformers, current clamps, or […]
Shake Things Up This Summer with Orbits!
Shake Things Up This Summer with Orbits! While we are still waiting for spring to really start. Orbits is already planning some courses towards the summer! Together with BEMAS we are organizing two courses in june. Do you want to visualize your vibrating machines in order to know how you could improve them? In this […]
Electricity and Beyond!
Electricity and Beyond! An electric drivetrain is a system that uses electrical power to produce mechanical power. It typically consists of a power source (or the grid), an electric motor, and a gearbox or other mechanical component that converts the motor’s rotational force into movement. However, because an electric drivetrain involves a constant interaction between […]
Bachelor Students Amp Up Orbits’ Measuring Game!
Bachelor Students Amp Up Orbits’ Measuring Game We’re thrilled to have a group of talented bachelor engineering students join us every Friday in the second semester. Together, we’re building a standalone measurement box that can be sent to our customers. The goal is to enable customers to measure and store current and voltage readings in […]
