Measurement Techniques What Is Predictive Maintenance? In general, vibration of anti-friction bearings is best monitored in the load zone of Predictive Maintenance can be defined as collecting information from machines as the bearing. Equipment design often limits the ability to collect data in this zone. they operate to aid in making decisions about their health, repair and possible im- Simply select the measurement Point which gives the best signal.
With overall vibration monitoring a machine or the structure of a machine, and comparing the measurement to its (VIB ISO) using the Examiner 1000, analysis of the cause of excess vibration normal value (norm) indicates the current health of the machine.
