Benefits of Condition Monitoring Systems:

  • Improved Reliability: Early detection of issues helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends the lifespan of equipment.
  • Cost Savings: Reducing unplanned downtime and optimising maintenance schedules can lead to significant cost savings.
  • Safety: Identifying potential hazards before they become critical ensures a safer working environment.
  • Efficiency: Enhanced equipment performance and reduced energy consumption contribute to overall operational efficiency.

Key Components of Condition Monitoring Systems:

  1. Sensors: Devices that measure specific parameters (e.g., vibration sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors).
  2. Data Acquisition Systems: Hardware and software that collect data from sensors and transmit it for analysis.
  3. Analysis Software: Programs that process and analyse the collected data to identify trends, anomalies, and potential issues.
  4. Reporting Tools: Systems that generate reports and alerts based on the analysis, providing actionable insights for maintenance teams.

Condition Monitoring Systems FAQs

How many sensors should be installed on a single machine?

For small machinery (Class 1 and 2 according to ISO 20816 standard) and for the purpose of simple anomaly detection, one sensor per machine may be sufficient. For larger machinery (Class 3 and 4 according to ISO 20816 standard), two sensors per asset may be warranted. For large and critical machinery, more advanced solutions such as SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 wireless system or SKF IMx-8 and 16 Multilog online systems should be considered

What data is collected with SKF Axios sensors?

SKF Axios sensors measure vibration in three axes and temperature.

What is the SKF Axios sensor battery life?

The typical battery life of SKF Axios sensor is 5 years with a measurement frequency of one reading per hour. SKF Axios sensors are covered by a five-year limited warranty

What type of machines can be monitored with SKF Axios?

SKF Axios is designed for a variety of rotating equipment in safe operating conditions such as motors, pumps, fans, simple gearboxes, bearings, etc. It is not intended for use in consumer appliances and is currently not available for hazardous area applications such as power generation and offshore oil and gas stations
