In heavy-duty industrial applications, 40-ton overhead cranes play a vital role in lifting and transporting large and heavy materials. Whether they are used in steel mills, shipyards, power plants, or manufacturing workshops, these cranes are constantly exposed to demanding working conditions that can lead to fatigue and wear over time. Ensuring the structural and mechanical integrity of these ...
Induction motors are the leading drive systems used in Industrial setups. Induction motors are used in wide load applications from low voltage to high voltage. Unplanned downtime or late fault detection in these motors can lead to following losses for the factory: Loss in production High energy consumption High capex investments due to reduced asset life Higher maintenance cost due to its ...
Most electric motors are equipped with anti-friction, grease-lubricated rolling-element bearings. These bearings are predisposed to fail along with your equipment if they are not lubricated properly—in fact, bearing troubles account for 50 to 65 percent of all-electric motor failures. The most common lubricant-related failures include improper lubricant selection and over-and ...
With Motice, users are presented with a system that addresses maintenance failures ahead of time. Condition monitoring systems (CMS) make wear and tear predictable, thus making repairs plannable and downtime less frequent: Signals from the machine offer added value because predefined signals can be used to detect deviations that warn of increasing wear. Thus, malfunctions can be prevented. ...
This is the season to be grateful for the people and things in our lives that make life easier, more productive, safer and even more enjoyable. Gratitude makes life less stressful and can be used as a way to recognize those we appreciate and care about. There are benefits to being grateful for both individuals and companies. It is with that thought in mind that UE Systems wants to express ...
Project Overview: Sierra CP was engaged as the principle contractor to design and implement a significant refurbishment of BP-Castrol Global Headquarters for fuel & lubricant R&D. The refurbishment required the construction of an exo-structure encompassing the existing test facility to accommodate the additional test facility plant and services required for the major upgrade. Essential ...
Objective: The CMSWIND project consisted of the development of an advanced monitoring system for rotating components in wind turbines by means of the application of novel non-destructive testing techniques that were not previously being used in the wind sector. This new Condition Monitoring system improved component reliability by up to 50%, using a blend of vibration analysis (VA), motor ...
Biomass boilers are increasing in popularity due to favourable levels of efficiency and general on-going cost. The nature of any application that provides heat and power means that up time of the systems are of paramount importance. This is imperative in commercial situations where providers of these applications often have tight SLAs to adhere to and down time can be costly. Implementing the ...

The advanced purchase and storage of spare-parts can halve the number of downtime days for a typical wind farm and costs can be controlled by buying in bulk and sourcing from a wider market base including refurbished products, Derck van Ommeren, head of sales for the Dutch spares provider WindTurbineSpareParts.com, told Wind Energy Update. It may not be cost effective to keep a full set of spare ...
Although the US Navy has made great strides in integrating technology to monitor and assess the condition of sub–systems, little is understood about how to fuse this data in order to construct a higher level awareness of the ship's overall readiness or current state. ...
Symmetrical components are of great importance in many applications in electrical power systems, such as power protection and condition monitoring. This paper presents a computer-based algorithm for online symmetrical components estimation. The proposed algorithm uses the samples of the phase variables (currents or voltages) to estimate the magnitude and phase angle of each phase phasor at each ...
At SMORN 8, a new web-based diagnostic system – web4diagnostics – was presented (Kunze, 2002). During the last two years, this system became the standard diagnostic system infrastructure for internal use in Siemens Power Generation, which integrates a large data archive of measured data and capabilities for data analysis and evaluation. Besides this internal use, today some 15 power plants ...
