Plant Engineering’s top 5 articles online about mechanical engineering posted over the last year covered motor maintenance, reducing pump problems, semiconductor industry insights and more.

1. Maintenance and management strategies for better-performing electric motors

Developing a strong motor maintenance strategy can provide companies with many benefits long-term as it reduces downtime and can help companies avoid large repair or replacement costs.

2. Reduce dreaded pump problems or failures with condition monitoring

To avoid costly, unplanned downtime, leveraging condition monitoring in a reliability plan is essential.

3. Advanced 2.5 and 3D semiconductor packaging technology insights

Semiconductor packaging technologies have evolved to 2.5 and 3D, but they come with specific advantages and drawbacks.

4. How can plant personnel successfully maintain low-voltage dry type transformers?

Low-voltage dry type transformers (LVDTT) are often forgotten pieces of necessary electrical equipment, however they need regular maintenance.

5. How ventilation for semiconductor fabrication is critical

Proper testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) of ventilation systems in manufacturing systems is critical and is even more so when it comes to semiconductor manufacturing.
