BIO:        Tony Savarese
Tony Savarese received his Mechanical Engineering Degree from Drexel University. He began his vibration career with the US Navy. As
a member of a two man crew, he was responsible for collecting and analyzing data of all rotating equipment on the USS Saratoga
Aircraft Carrier during its 1982 Sea Trial when it was overhauled in Philadelphia. After that he was hired by General Dynamics for
their noise reduction program where he participated in the "Independent Research and Development Program". While at G.D., Tony
received a contract from the government to successfully develop an on-line balancing system that corrects unbalance without shutting
down the equipment. From there he was recruited by Schenck Trebel (a major balancing and vibration equipment manufacturer). While at
Schenck he was responsible for the application of new balancing equipment and tooling for the aerospace industry and supervised the
service department for vibration analysis. He also ran the training department in which he trained new employees and created
technical seminars for training customers at all levels. Today Mr. Savarese owns and operates Measurement Systems in which he
supports industrial businesses in their effort to reduce noise and vibration at their facilities. This is accomplished by analyzing
equipment vibration, determining the cause of the problem, and making recommendations for repair. Tony also developed the
API Journal Runout Measurement system
that is used to measure the electrical runout of shafts and bearings.
