With Kittiwake's ANALEX range of Ferrous Debris Monitors and Ferro Sensors , worn parts can be identified and replaced before any serious machinery damage occurs. In this way, production can be maintained, equipment life extended and the return on capital investment increased.
"While it's true that some failure mechanisms, such as misalignment, are better detected using vibration, most experts - including those that specialize in vibration analysis - recognize that oil analysis will generally detect active machine wear before vibration analysis.
The true value of vibration analysis is its inherent ability to localize the problem (inner race, outer race, cage wear, etc.) rather than any ability to find a problem earlier in the failure cycle.
In truth, the combination of oil analysis for early detection coupled with the advanced diagnostic capabilities of vibration analysis make the benefits of these two techniques far greater when treated as teammates rather than opponents."
