Gill maximise machinery efficiency through advanced gearbox condition monitoring
With 2 in 3 manufacturers unware of the true cost of system downtime and mechanical failure, Gill Sensors & Control s discuss how their new oil condition monitoring sensor s helped reduce downtime, associated costs and improve reliability of large manufacturing gearboxes.The most common cause of machine failure is surface degradation, making up a significant 70% of failures; a large majority a direct result of mechanical wear and metallic debris build-up. Various factors trigger the build-up of metallic debris including
