Gearbox monitoring

Standard

Gearboxes are vital components of fans, motors, compressors, and other machinery. Vibration sensors help to improve gearbox reliability and efficiency by detecting mechanical problems early, so you can minimize unplanned downtime, reduce operating costs and protect your gearboxes from damage or failure.

Main or Key indicators of gearbox health:

• Balance
• Looseness
• Alignment
• Gear tooth condition
• Bearing condition

The Most Common Reasons of gearboxes fail:

• Gear tooth wear
• Gear tooth misalignment
• Bearing wear
• Fatigue
