Bearing Damage

Ortviken Paper Mill owned by SCA and located in Sweden is equipped with four paper machines. It has an annual production capacity of 850.000 tons in producing publication papers, LWC and newsprint. Ortviken has used SPM HD Technologies for Condition Monitoring for solving bearing-related breakdowns on low-RPM machinery like the twin wire presses (used for ...

The SPM Bearing Checker is a portable instrument for easy and fast measurements of bearing conditions. In fact, SPM BC200 Bearing Checker is a bearing diagnostic equipment. Also, the Bearing Checker is economical, reliable and particularly simple. SPM BC200 replaces the “traditional” vibration analysis for checking bearings with shock pulse measurement. To perform a bearing ...

Machine breakdowns occur because of bearing damage frequently. However, it’s possible to detect problems earlier so you can plan for corrective maintenance. In fact, predicting and detecting the failure timely is the key to cut operation costs and improve equipment and component reliability. Therefore, if you check the bearing condition periodically; you can reduce unplanned ...

The customer installed the SPM Intellinova Compact Remote system which does online condition monitoring on the plant; and it’s been in operation for almost 4 years with a 100% hit rate on all bearing damages. That’s why the customer was enabled to plan bearing replacements well ahead. Moreover, the result of using SPM DuoTech Accelerometer ...

The inserted case study describes the detection of a damaged bearing cage in a gearbox driving a vertical roller mill. Vertical roller mills (VRM), also known as raw mill or roller mill, are mainly used to grind cement clinker, raw coal, slag and other raw materials into fine powder during cement production. Bearing Cage Damage ...

Ball Mill Bearing Damage Rana Gruber AS is one of Norway’s largest mining and iron ore beneficiation companies, and also one of the important companies in the area of Nordland located ...

Bulgarian copper producer Asarel Medet AD has monitored mechanical condition of critical equipment in the open-pit mine and flotation plant using SPM HD Technologies for Condition Monitoring. The inserted case study explains the bearing damage which was detected via online measurements taken from a ball mill at the flotation plant of Asarel Medet AD in ...

This case study talks about the detection of bearing damage on a press roll. It shows the development of the damage during six weeks. In fact, they used the online system SPM Intellinova Compact with HD condition monitoring technology to monitor the press section of paper machine K25. The case study focused on a bearing ...

One of the major causes of bearing failure and bearing damage is lack of lubrication. Therefore, it’s important that a vibration sensor be able to detect higher-frequency vibration (well above 1 kHz); which are resulted from lack of lubrication. The attached report presents the results of a dry bearing test which was carried out to ...
