Conditioned-Based Maintenance

Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is the future maintenance practice for equipment that is here today.

CBM is a strategy aimed at extending machine life, increasing productivity, and taking machine health to the next level for the lifetime of the equipment

Unlike preventative maintenance, which is based on servicing a machine at scheduled intervals, CBM is based on specific equipment conditions including operating environment and application.

OIL ANALYSIS

Oil Analysis is a non-destructive test used to assess the condition of lubricants and determine the type and amount of contamination present.

Criticality of lubrication to most industrial equipment, oil analysis trending over time is one of the most powerful predictive tools for identifying potential failures.

3 basic categories of elements affecting the lubrication effectiveness: wear metals, contaminants, and additives.

OIL ANALYSIS

Benefits

Improve oil sampling methods with emerging technologies

Improve machine condition and reliability with oil analysis

Increase the remaining useful life of your lubricant

Reduce maintenance costs associated with unplanned downtime

OIL ANALYSIS

Consequences

OIL ANALYSIS

Early detection with oil analysis can allow for corrective action such as repairing an air intake leak before major damage occurs.

One of the major advantages of an oil analysis program is being able to anticipate problems and schedule repair work to avoid downtime during a critical time of use.
