Home | FAG Detector III – the new all-rounder for condition-based maintenance

Mobile vibration and temperature monitoring as well as balancing with just a single system – user friendly instrument for early detection of problems - records up to 1,600 measuring points per inspection round
Herzogenrath, 30.06.2006 – In early July 2006, the Schaeffler subsidiary FAG Industrial Services GmbH (F’IS) has launched the FAG Detector III - a true all-rounder for the maintenance of rotating components - at an attractive price. The new device offers an improved mobile condition monitoring function (measurement of temperature and vibration). Moreover, it features the option of static and dynamic balancing.
The enlarged memory permits users now to record up to 1,600 measuring points plus up to 270 time signals per inspection round for condition monitoring purposes. This means that bearing damage, imbalance and misalignment are recognized even more reliably. In addition, thanks to the balancing function, any imbalance detected can be eliminated directly and easily. Typical applications include the monitoring of electric motors, fans, ventilators and pumps.
Due to its low weight, the mobile Detector III is particularly suitable for monitoring large plants where long distances have to be covered on a measuring round to get to a large number of measuring points. After the measuring round has been generated, the system guides the inspector from measuring point to measuring point. This makes it easier for the staff performing the measurements to use exactly the same measuring points. This – as well as regular, short intervals between inspections - makes the measurements comparable with each other.
As the monitoring system is very easy to operate, users can learn to handle it quickly. Thanks to the integrated bearing database, which already contains the data of about 20,000 bearing types from different manufacturers, analyses can be carried out quickly and reliably. The evaluation of the measured values itself requires more in-depth specialized knowledge and can be carried out either by a F’IS vibration expert or – after thorough training by F’IS - by the customer’s personnel.
Like all condition monitoring systems developed by the Herzogenrath maintenance experts, the FAG Detector III helps users to detect incipient bearing damage at an early stage, making maintenance and the procurement of replacement parts plannable. In this way, costly production losses and equally costly potential consequential damage can be largely avoided. The successful predecessor model FAG Detector II can be upgraded to the new monitoring system.
