Predictive Maintenance

Vibration analysis is a proven method for reducing maintenance costs
Machine Condition Monitoring and Vibration Analysis are proven methods for reducing maintenance costs and preventing emergency shut downs. A reliable air conditioning system for example is a critical part of property management. Large commercial buildings such as office towers, hotels, hospitals and shopping malls rely on air conditioning to ensure tenant comfort. A poorly performing system is usually quickly noticed by tenants and can result in low occupancy rates. This can be prevented by regular Vibration Condition Monitoring, detecting imbalance in fans, misalignment of the motor/gearbox in a lift drive, looseness of a chilled water pump impeller, electrical faults in squirrel cage motors, worn roller bearings or gear wear in a lift motor gearbox.
