Proposal for Thermographic Diagnosis of Rotating Equipment: "Comparison with Vibration"

Detecting abnormalities from temperature surfaces! Improving the accuracy of equipment diagnosis by using thermography diagnostics.

In the diagnosis of rotating machinery, measurements are conducted on the "entire motor," "bearing section," and "pump bearing section." The measurement methods include "vibration diagnosis" and "thermography diagnosis," each of which has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the diagnostic area. "Vibration diagnosis" excels in diagnosing issues such as bearing problems, misalignment, and imbalance, while "thermography diagnosis" detects faults from a temperature perspective, particularly in the stator winding section and terminal section, and is proficient in diagnosing lubrication conditions. By leveraging and complementing the strengths of each technique, we contribute to improving the accuracy of equipment diagnosis. 【Checkpoints】 ■ Entire motor - Frame temperature - Heat generation in the terminal box - Overall temperature distribution ■ Bearing section - Temperature of the bearing section - Temperature distribution of the bearing section ■ Pump bearing section - Temperature of the bearing section of the coupled rotating machinery - Temperature distribution of the bearing section *For more details, please feel free to download the PDF or contact us.
