TMFSS — Machinery Fault Signature Simulator
The TMFSS is a portable benchtop machine engineered to reproduce real-world rotating-machinery faults — misalignment, unbalance, bearing defects, looseness, gearbox faults, electrical-motor faults, pump cavitation — under controlled, repeatable conditions.
It is the rig you put in front of an analyst-in-training. It is the rig you use to validate a diagnostic algorithm before taking it on-site. It is the rig research groups use to generate labelled fault data for ML.
Three sizes
TMFSS Macro — full research-grade benchtop simulator. 30+ faults in the base kit. Add-on kits extend the fault library further. Used in defence/aerospace R&D, motor and bearing manufacturer QA labs, and university research groups.
TMFSS Mini — simplified, affordable benchtop. Simulates 7+ machinery faults. Limited add-on kit list. Built for entry-level training and education-focused deployment.
TMFSS Micro — classroom format. Smallest footprint for a teaching lab.
14 fault types simulated (Macro)
The full TMFSS Macro fault library covers:
- Misalignment (angular & parallel)
- Unbalance in rotating machinery
- Bearing faults (outer race, inner race, cage, rolling element)
- Foundation looseness
- Coupling studies (COS)
- Cocked bearings
- Eccentric & cocked rotors
- Belt drive faults
- Cracked shafts
- Reciprocating mechanisms
- Damping (types & mechanisms)
- Sleeve bearings
- Gearbox faults
- Pump cavitation
Add-on kits extend the fault library with additional configurations — bent shaft, finned rotor, accelerated bearing wear, lockable bearing, and mechanical rub. Each fault type comes with a technical note explaining the physics and the expected spectrum signature.
Who buys it
- Motor and bearing manufacturers — QA labs assessing product performance and durability.
- Defence and aerospace R&D — algorithm development, fault-data generation, technician training.
- University and TCAT-aligned training programmes — hands-on labs for vibration analysis courses.
- Reliability engineering consultancies — analyst training, demo rigs for client visits.
- OEMs and integrators — testing new sensors, edge devices, and predictive-maintenance software before field deployment.
- ML / data-science teams — generating labelled, ground-truth fault datasets for training classification models.
Pairs naturally with
- PhonoVibe DAQ (any model in the series) for capture
- TVIB TSAP 201 for analysis and reporting
- TCAT Cat I / Cat II training when the simulator is part of a learning programme
Make in India
TMFSS is designed, manufactured, and calibrated at our Thiruvananthapuram facility. Parts are sourced and assembled domestically. Spares and service from a local team — no long lead times waiting on imports.
