RoMaDyn will offer essential reliability services needed to protect and optimize the operation of rotating machinery assets. Their team of experienced professionals, led by Global Services Manager, D. Craig Sever, P.E. will provide assistance in the following three areas; Machinery Diagnostics, Product Services, and Technical Training.

Machinery Diagnostics is the science of diagnosing the root cause of rotating machinery malfunctions that can lead to reliability or performance problems. RoMaDyn’s experience includes the diagnostics of a wide range of rotating machinery malfunctions on equipment such as turbines, compressors, motors, generators, and pumps.

Product Services covers service of vibration instrumentation. Often plant engineers are not sure what type of instrumentation is needed to protect valuable plant assets. RoMaDyn will help engineers specify, install, verify, repair, and maintain vibration monitoring instruments from a wide variety of vendors.

RoMaDyn also plans to hold Technical Training seminars that will address topics such as; Machinery Diagnostics, Balancing, Alignment, Vibration Monitoring System Operation and Maintenance, and Externally Pressurized Bearings. Initially, seminars will be offered at the company’s Houston, Texas and Minden, Nevada training facilities or upon request at customer’s sites.

RoMaDyn’s founder is widely regarded as an expert in the field of rotor dynamics having pioneered the first commercially successful eddy current proximity transducer and introduced its use to measure vibration and other critical parameters in rotating machinery. His visionary work in this area gave rise to an entire industry surrounding the use of vibration instrumentation to protect and diagnose machinery. He has recently published a comprehensive textbox titled “Fundamentals of Rotating Machinery Diagnostics”. Book ordering information is available on the company’s web site at www.romadyn.com.
