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.
