  • Publication number: 20210247269
    Abstract: A vibration monitoring system described herein is used to detect and analyze mechanical characteristics such as vibrations emanating from a rotating system (including the shaft and bearing system). The analysis of the mechanical characteristics yields decision data as to whether and which component connected with the rotating system is faulty so that it may be replaced. An example of a rotating system would be any of the rotating accessories present in an automotive vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8671744
    Abstract: The present invention features an engine pulley testing device allowing a user to detect a damaged engine pulley. The engine pulley testing device comprises a first support arm and a second support arm pivotably attached to a front side of a top panel, a third support arm pivotably attached to a top panel on a back side of the top panel. A top pulley is attached on the top panel and a first bottom pulley and second bottom pulley are attached to the first and second support arms respectively. An engine belt can be wrapped around the pulleys and a testing pulley for testing. The engine pulley testing device may be attached on a sliding rail to slide to a desired working position.

  • Patent number: 8307701
    Abstract: An engine pulley testing device for detecting damaged engine pulleys featuring a first support arm and a second support arm pivotally connected via a pivot component. Lengths of the support arms are adjustable. A brace component connects the support arms and functions to temporarily secure the support arms a certain distance apart. A pulley pole extends through the pivot component such that the first support arm and second support arm pivot about the pulley pole via the pivot component. A top pulley is disposed on the pulley pole, a first bottom pulley is rotatably attached to the first support arm, and a second bottom pulley is rotatably attached to the second support arm. An engine belt can be wrapped around the first bottom pulley, the second bottom pulley, the top pulley, and a test pulley being tested in an engine.
