The SKF Machine Condition Advisor is a rugged, easy-to-use, hand held device that simultaneously measures vibration signals and temperature to indicate machine health and bearing damage - providing early warning of machine problems before a costly breakdown occurs.
Essential plant equipment such as pumps, fans, motors, compressors, gear boxes, cranes and conveyors rely on bearings to keep machines running.
Using the SKF Machine Condition Advisor to measure both the machine condition and bearing activity for changes in vibration and temperature, operations or maintenance staff can detect a pending machine failure before it results in lost production, unplanned downtime and machine damage.
Multiple measurements with a single device The SKF Machine Condition Advisor provides an overall “velocity” vibration reading that measures vibration signals from the machine and automatically compares them to pre-programmed International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines. An “Alert” or “Danger” alarm displays when measurements exceed those guidelines. Simultaneously an “enveloped acceleration” measurement is taken and compared to established bearing vibration guidelines to verify conformity or indicate potential bearing damage. The SKF Machine Condition Advisor also measures temperature using an infrared sensor to indicate uncharacteristic heat.
Accuracy, flexibility and confidence When performing measurements, the SKF Machine Condition Advisor’s acceleration sensor input signal is processed to produce two different measurements for each POINT on the machinery – overall velocity and enveloped acceleration. At the same time, the SKF Machine Condition Advisor’s non-contact infrared sensor measures the surface temperature of the measurement location and simultaneously displays all three measurement values. Depending on the SKF Machine Condition Advisor’s System setting, the front-panel LCD simultaneously displays:
Metric or Imperial units
Velocity in mm/s RMS or in./s derived Peak
Temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit
Acceleration enveloping readings in gE
