Mechanical

Thermal imaging for condition monitoring as an additional service within reliability and predictive maintenance programs is a valuable diagnostic tool.

Drives/Conveyors, Pillow Blocks, Couplings, Gears, Power Transmission Belts, Pulleys, Shafts. Overheated bearings or rollers, misalignment of shaft, pulley or coupling, lubrication failure uneven pressure.
Motors Overheating of windings and bearings, blockages in cooling passages, friction, damping, material deformations, brush contact problems, rotors
Pumps/Compressors/Fans/Blowers Overheated bearings, high compressor discharges temperature, high oil temperature, and broken or defective valve.
Internal Combustion Engines Valve or injector malfunction, blocked radiator tubes and oil coolers. Thermal distribution, high radiator inlet or outlet temperature.
Heavy Duty Equipment - Tires, Bearings, Brakes, Hydraulics, Kilns, Ball Mills, Paper Machines Overheating brakes, tyres, bearings, pulleys, gears, gear or pulley misalignment, and blockages in hydraulics.
Mechanical DriveTurbines and Small TurbineGenerator Units, Gas Turbine, Exhaust Ducts High lube oil temperature, high bearing temperatures, faulty stop/control valve operation, uneven metal temperature, leaking shaft seals, gas turbine firing conditions, including deterioration in firing chambers, cross firing tubes.
