Can condition monitoring really extend the life of your machinery?
Condition monitoring is often talked about when looking at how to extend the life of machinery, but how does it work? And how effective can it really be?

The majority of wind turbines are expected to have a service life of over 20 years, meaning that breakdown is almost inevitable at some point during a turbine’s lifetime. The question is: how big an impact will any breakdown have on the business?
There is no denying that bearings are under a lot of stress. This stress causes wear, eventually leading to bearing failure. But is this inevitable? Or is there a way to make bearings last longer?
SKF have unveiled their new Multilog online machine health monitoring system, IMx-8. This smaller condition monitoring system provides a complete system for early fault detection, allowing maintenance to be carried out proactively to reduce downtime.

The SKF CMSS 200 Machine Condition Indicator is an economical vibration sensor and indicator for monitoring of non-critical machines. It is ideal for machinery with constant operating conditions not previously...
Detecting failure in railway bearings is notoriously hard but innovations in equipment are making monitoring increasingly precise.
Condition monitoring is, in essence, the process of monitoring a condition within a machine. Specifically though, it is the process of monitoring a parameter of the condition, of which a change is indicative...
