Condition Monitoring Of Bearings

Bearing Condition Monitoring Programe:We can literary save major maintenance cost just by maintaining bearings by avoiding catastrophic failuresBearing failure doesn't only cost replacement of bearing but bearing failures might turn into catastrophic failure of complete equipment. Effects of Bearing failure:Bearing never fails alone but it fails along with shaft, bearing housing (Cartridge), Machine Envelop.Bearing failure immediately causes downtime, production failure, and immediate shutdown of whole machinery. This inturn causes heavy losses to company. Also No Bearing runs till its whole designed life. Hence, the cost of bearings over a period goes 1.5% higher for a company, may go double. And that is why bearing condition monitoring is important in company maintenance. A small bearing can cause heavy losses……! We can maintain bearings in such a way that, there will be NO BEARING FAILURE and bearing life will increase.
