Do you know the source of a English language Video course with descriptional graphics & 3d images/animations covering Basics on rack based on line vibration monitoring system covering aspects like what is rotating machines shaft vibration , what different transducers are used to measure it , how is it used , how is it mounted and how a rack based on line vibration monitoring system works or just a video covering machine vibrations? Any info will help. Thanks jjamvant@yahoo.com

Bently had a good course that covered installation and setup. I've attended and thought it really good; video???? But I'm sure there is something somewhere - search those vendors that are OEM's for such instrumentation.

I checked but like BNC they are all too expensive. I am a student and cant afford it. Cant i get a free video or a training copy from somewhere?

Jamvant,
Getting FREE video training content is very difficult!!!

I suggest you visit one or more nearby power, petro-chemical, or pulp/paper plants to see an installed monitor system, get a tour, and read/copy the manuals. You could also contact local sales reps for vibration products who might "loan" you sales/training materials. Join one or more local technical organizations (like Vibration Institute) or attend a local seminar or conference.

Books and technical papers are a lot cheaper and more available than video media. Why do you need video media anyway? Here is a listing of Web Links that may be of use, but they are probably not FREE:

Time to work on your education!

THANKS Walt!! I tried the BNC salesmen but they are too high headed. Noone else really wants to help students. SAD BUT TRUE ...

Try out for a part time job. On the Job training is a good way to learn.

I am still at school. Part-time evening/Sunday jobs dont exist in this field here. I am prepared to write a report or do something for a Company who can give me these training CDs in return. Would you know of anyone who could use my offer?
