Sensor Enables Continuous Monitoring Of Machinery
Rotalign Ultra Live Trend, a short-term continuous monitoring concept from Ludeca, helps manufacturers to determine the relative positional changes between coupled machines during run-up or shutdown. It utilises the Rotalign five-axis sensor to monitor continuously, in real time and simultaneously, both the vertical and horizontal parallel and angular displacement of rotating machinery, from cold to hot condition or vice versa. By applying these measured values, the machines can be precisely aligned to reflect normal operating conditions.
This is claimed to result in lower energy costs through reduced power consumption; the increased mechanical life of bearings, seals, shafts and couplings; reduced bearing and coupling temperatures; the ability to avoid the breaking or cracking of shafts; reduced vibration; and an increased mean time between failures.
