Early detection of damage to gears

The new FAG Wear Debris Monitor from Schaeffler (UK) is a combined oil and vibration monitoring system that enables early detection of damage to heavy duty, oil-lubricated industrial gears. It provides plant operators with a reliable system that prevents unplanned downtime and minimises maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) costs.

The online condition monitoring system is capable of pinpointing the precise location of any damage or wear to gears, bearings and cages within a gearbox or other industrial gear unit.
