FAG SmartCheck vibration monitor

FAG SmartCheck vibration monitoring technology comprises a compact, modular online measuring system for continuous monitoring of machinery and process parameters on a decentralised basis. It can be used on assemblies where such monitoring was previously too cost prohibitive.

The technology is suitable for early detection of rolling bearing damage, imbalances and misalignments among other faults on: electric and geared motors; vacuum and fluid pumps; ventilators and fans; gearboxes and compressors; spindles and machine tools; separators and decanters.

The system is ready for immediate use as it is supplied with a set of key data that facilitates general, reliable machinery monitoring. In addition, predefined configuration templates are available for monitoring of items such as fans, pumps and bearings. These can be matched to individual requirements, due to the integrated bearing database of FAG and INA standard bearings.

In addition to the standard parameters of vibration and temperature, it is possible to record other operating parameters such as speed, pressure and flow rate. All parameters can be correlated with each other and included in the alarm configuration.

The data is recorded and analysed centrally by the system. The current machine condition can be displayed directly on the device or transferred to any control facility as required.
