Research

SpectraQuest products provide test platforms for research in rotor dynamics, gearboxes, drivetrains, machinery fault diagnostics, machinery fault prognostics, condition monitoring, and preventive maintenance. Robust, modular design allows the researcher to easily introduce controlled and calibrated faults and to reconfigure the simulator for different studies.

Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS)

The Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS) family is designed to study the signature of common machinery faults, such as unbalance, alignment, resonance, bearing, rotor dynamics, crack shaft, gearbox, belt drive, reciprocating mechanism, mechanical rub, induction motor, pump, compressor, and fan.
