Maintenance MethodsMaintenance Methods

1. Breakdown Maintenance : The machine is allowed to run until complete failure forces shutdown.

Disadvantages: Untimely/ unplanned failure. Often require extensive repair. More downtime of machine. Loss of production is higher.

Maintenance MethodsMaintenance Methods2. Schedule Maintenance :

The machine is shutdown after specified period of operation & partially or completely dismantled for thorough inspection/ maintenance. This approach is having advantage of reducing the frequencies of shutdown.

Disadvantages:- Full life of machine parts can not be extracted.- Machine may be degraded by frequent disassembly.

Maintenance MethodsMaintenance Methods3. Predictive Maintenance or Condition

Based Maintenance :

Maintenance carried out in response to significant deterioration in a machine as indicated by a change in monitored parameters of the machine condition.

Maintenance MethodsMaintenance MethodsAdvantages of Condition Based Maintenance :

- Scheduled shutdown with minimum effect on production.

- Well prepared work schedule results in to reliable repair.

- Minimises unscheduled breakdowns.- Prolong machinery life.- Increase machinery / human safety

Baseline Data Baseline data representative of an

equipment in a new and/or properly operating condition.

The baseline data is the foundation of the predictive trending analysis required to forecast equipment condition.

The baseline readings and periodic monitoring data should be taken under the same conditions (or as close as can be achieved).

Vibration MonitoringVibration Monitoring What is vibration

– Motion of machine or machine part back & forth from its position of rest

Detect 60 to 70% of the faults

All machines vibrate Mechanical defect

generate vibration in unique way

Vibration CharacteristicsVibration CharacteristicsThree Characteristics of Vibration are

1. Amplitude

2. Frequency

3. Phase

Vibration CharacteristicsVibration Characteristics1. Amplitude

Primary indicator of machine’s condition

DisplacementMeasurement of distance an object travels from position of rest.

VelocityMeasurement of observed displacement over some specific period of time

AccelerationMeasurement of observed velocity over some specific period of time

Vibration Characteristics - AmplitudeVibration Characteristics - Amplitude

Vibration CharacteristicsVibration Characteristics2. Frequency

Measure of the number of complete cycles that occur in a specified period of time.

f=1/T Helps in identifying the probable

cause of vibration

3. Phase Position of vibration part at given

instance with reference to a fixed point.
