Infrared Thermal Imaging
provides valuable guidance for
preventive/predictive maintenance teams servicing mechanical
systems. This information directs your organization where to
focus during limited maintenance periods. Mechanical systems
are composed of assemblies of moving parts. As mechanical
equipment begins to fail or operate in an undesirable
fashion, there will usually be a change in the normal
thermal pattern of the equipment as compared to the thermal
pattern of a properly operating system. Bearing wear, belt
tension, and coupling misalignment will generate friction.
Stress also will create is there
anything else after create? Nothing in File.
 Electric Motors
It is an
established fact that for every 10 °C above allowable
maximum operating temperature at which an electrical
motor functions, the life of the motor is reduced by one
half. This damage is irreversible. In many
industries, this can amount to thousands of dollars a
year in lost profit.
Payback
One incident of equipment
failure averted by a thermal imaging survey can provide
a return on your inspection investment immediately.
There is a wide variety of equipment that can be
included in an infrared mechanical inspection program.
This may include but is not limited to:
