OUR COMPANY PROFILE Magnetic Products and Services, Inc. is the leader in pro- viding services and specialized equipment for shaft current control, magnetic field measurement, and for the removal of residual magnetism. Owner, Marilyn Nippes has been CFO since MPS incorporated in 1980. Founder Paul I. Nippes, P.E., is a pioneer in solving shaft current problems and designing corrective solutions. A Fellow of IEEE, Paul served as a Chairman of ANSI C50, and IEC SC2G for many years. He holds a B.S.E.E. from Penn State University (1950) and a M.S.E.E. from the University of Wisconsin (1955). In 2004 he was honored as the first recipient of the Cyril B. Venoit, Energy Conservation Award from IEEE. For over 40 years, Paul has served the industry as a highly respected consultant. SHAFT CONDITION MONITORING TECHNOLOGY WITH MPS VCMs Whether you have a turbine, compressor, motor, or generator, VCM technology “listens” for subtle warning signs in the machine‘s most informative sensor, the rotor. By heeding the warnings, you can reduce machine downtime and improve performance. You can also prevent expensive damage to bearings, seals and other components. VCM output signals and alarms may indicate problems that are due to: Loss of shaft grounding Static electricity Residual magnetism Shaft or rotor rubs In electrical machinery, the VCM also indicates: Shorting of bearing insulation Low-level stator winding faults Turn shorts in the windings Uneven air gaps And more... ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ Machinery Faults Detected
