Stay regular  with scheduled 
condition monitoring health checks

The process of monitoring the parameters of condition in machinery, to identify any indicat ors of deve  loping or potential failures.

Ele ments at play…

Your power, propuls ion and air systems are central to your operations.

Vibr ation

Each piece of equipment is made up of many components, every part will vibrate in different ways, frequencies and  amplitudes. When a failure is imminent, generally, the overall amplitude of vibration will increase

Protection systems do not evaluate specific problems – this is why regular review and analysis of the waveform is required. Understanding danger output signals, peak values and their comparison to pre-programmed limits is key to identifying specific problems well in advance of failure.

Common pr oblems

Machine resonance

Coupling misalignment

Bearing cocked on shaft

Journal bearings

Rolling element bearings 

Mechanical looseness

Bent or off-plane mounting

Turbulence and cavitation

Reducing your chances of breakdown with early detection.

Thermography

• Pin pointing ‘hotspots’ where faults are likely to occur, as a result of prolonged heat exposure, giving you time to plan scheduled maintenance ahead of any problems.

• A reliable and non-contact method of scanning surfaces, to visualise temperature distribution across entire surfaces quickly and accurately.

• Helping you save costs through minor corrective works and conducted under normal operating conditions with no stoppages.
