The Schaeffler solution comprises a custom designed CM system based on SmartCheck sensors<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe customer was looking for an intelligent condition monitoring (CM) system to reliably prevent failures in its pumping stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After expanding its facilities by installing the latest technologies and processes for water treatment, the company wanted to implement a high performance, fully integrated CM system solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Schaeffler solution comprises a custom designed CM system based on SmartCheck sensors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In total, 84 SmartChecks are fully integrated into the customer\u2019s infrastructure via a PLC (programmable logic controller), which monitor the critical items of equipment across 15 pumping stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equipment monitored includes bearings on pumps and motors, as well as pump vanes\/impellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SmartChecks monitor vibration, temperature and speed, as well as shaft alignment and balancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data can be viewed individually at each pumping station or centrally in the control room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system also allows the implementation of automated routines such as the triggering of alarms and the emergency shut-off of equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the help of the CM system that is fully integrated via the PLC, the customer can almost completely prevent unplanned system downtime, ensuring that high quality drinking water can be supplied to the region at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, damage to equipment can result in high costs amounting to several thousand euros. This risk has also been practically eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The customer-specific implemented CM solution provides very detailed information about vibration, temperature and other parameters for each item of equipment, which can be visualised in a complete, easy-to-understand way in the customer\u2019s system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high level of detail provides the perfect basis for ensuring operational reliability and predictive maintenance. This means the user does not require special knowledge of vibration diagnosis on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combination of high precision condition monitoring and simple handling totally convinced the customer in practice, who is now planning to implement similar solutions in other applications at various locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
