A warning to heed

Maintenance engineers know the
benefits of monitoring vibration,
however these are not always
appreciated by their work colleagues
and warnings can be disregarded with
catastrophic results. According to
Hansford Sensors, such a
situation occurred recently
where a conveyor pulley bearing
had developed high levels of
wear over a short period of
time.However, it was decided
to keep the machinery
running until a scheduled
maintenance date.
Consequently the bearing catastrophically failed, in turn catching on fire and resulting in high costs of damage to equipment and putting the lives of a number of employees at risk.
