Liquid Level Gauges

Protecting Your Equipment

I recently looked at the analyst ratings of the tens of thousands of samples processed through our lab in 2020. I took all the samples related to bearings, gears, and hydraulic systems and summarized the analyst’s rating based on the test results. One thing is clear. Reliability and maintenance personnel continue to struggle with maintaining the quality of their lubricant. 35% of samples claim a Serious/Critical status, 27% proceed with caution, and only 38% are considered normal.

Optimizing Machine Health

Machine Vitals primarily function is to monitor and analyze the health of industrial machinery, especially those with rotating components such as pumps, fans, gearboxes, and hydraulic units. It employs advanced sensors to gather critical data on parameters like pressure, temperature, and humidity, along with vibration and acoustic signals from both internal and external sources. The data is processed locally before being transmitted to the cloud for further analysis, enabling predictive maintenance to avoid unexpected failures and extend machinery life. This proactive monitoring helps ensure efficient operation and prevents significant damage or operational disruptions.

Preventive Maintenance vs Predictive Maintenance

Condition Monitoring in industrial maintenance is key for equipment reliability, using Preventive and Predictive maintenance strategies. Preventive maintenance involves regular inspections and scheduled maintenance, while Predictive maintenance detects potential failures during operation for cost-effective interventions. Both strategies together enhance machine lifespan and operational stability.
