At the 2026 Turbomachinery and Pump Symposia, Opportune’s Dan Romito warned that grid constraints and a five-year gas turbine backlog are pushing AI data centers toward on-site power, while colleagues honored the legacy of the late Dara Childs.

Vibration monitoring education

Engineers involved in designingandspecifying vibration monitoring systems can learn from a new practical guide that covers all types of vibration monitoring along with the key questions to ask when designing or specifying a vibration monitoring system. Produced by Sensonics, it discusses the types of sensors and monitoring systems available, how they are used, and provides answers to questions such as:
- What sensor should I select for absolute or relative vibration measurements?
- Where the sensor should be fitted?
- What electrical interface is needed?
- What distance can I have between sensors and monitoring equipment?
