Monitoring slow rotating equipment with vibration analysis

Monitoring slow rotating equipment with vibration analysis

Bearings defects in slow-running bearings are harder to detect as the inherent low energy impact makes early detection of issues difficult. That is why, CBC  Engineering Manager Mark Slaughter emphasises regular vibration analysis to monitor the bearings’ health.

In an iron ore export terminal in South Australia, monthly condition monitoring conducted by the CBC engineering team enabled them to detect an outer race bearing defect in the reclaim conveyor in time to avoid major operational delays. READ MORE…
