Acoustic and vibration monitoring solutions

Companies that need to monitor the condition of both slow and fast rotating plant and machinery can now benefit from a special combination of vibration and acoustic emission monitoring products, available in a single source from Schaeffler (UK).

Products are said to cater for every maintenance scenario and all types of rotating equipment - from high speed rotating components or machines, down to slower moving (0.25rpm) mechanical systems with fluctuating loads.

Schaeffler provides three main types of condition monitoring systems: handheld monitoring, fixed/online monitoring and semiportable, multi-channel acoustic emission monitoring.

A recent addition to the range is AE-Pro, a semiportable acoustic emission monitoring system. It is suitable for plant that doesn't warrant a fixed system, but which still requires more than instantaneous data collection.

The multi-channel PC Notebook-driven data acquisition and signal analysis system captures acoustic emission signals generated by machinery and other rotating components and systems.
