Predictive Maintenance PdM Program For Asset Optimization.
Predictive maintenance PdM aims to find
measures of machinery condition and use
them to prevent breakdowns. Establishing
trends allow accurate pinpointing of
machinery problems and their severity.
Increasing up time on machines is the primary
aim, while reduced likelihood of secondary
failures and less unnecessary maintenance are
additional benefits.
Condition Monitoring is most frequently
used as a Predictive or Condition-Based
Maintenance technique. Condition
Monitoring uses advanced technologies in
order to determine equipment condition, and
potentially predict failure.

SERVICESPREDICtIVE MAINtENANCE
Basically, predictive maintenance differs from preventive maintenance by basing maintenance needs on the actual condition of the equipment, rather than on some predetermined schedule.
A predictive maintenance approach strives to detect the onset
of equipment degradation and to address the problems as they
are identified. This allows causal stressors to be eliminated or
controlled, prior to any significant deterioration in the physical
state of the component or equipment. This leads to both current
and future functional capabilities.
Recall that preventive maintenance is time-based. Activities
such as changing lubricant are based on time, like calendar time
or equipment run time. For example, most people change the
oil in their vehicles every 3,000 to 5,000 miles traveled. This is
effectively basing the oil change needs on equipment run time.
No concern is given to the actual condition and performance
capability of the oil. It is changed because it is time.
This methodology would be analogous to a preventive
maintenance task. If, on the other hand, the operator of the
car discounted the vehicle run time and had the oil analyzed
at some periodicity to determine its actual condition and
lubrication properties, he or she may be able to extend the oil
change until the vehicle had traveled 10,000 miles. This is the
fundamental difference between predictive maintenance and
preventive maintenance, whereby predictive maintenance is
used to define needed maintenance tasks based on quantified
material and equipment condition.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
• Provides increased component operational life & availability
• Allows for preemptive corrective actions
• Results in decrease in equipment and/or process downtime
• Lowers costs for parts and labor
• Provides better product quality
• Improves worker and environmental safety
• Raises worker morale
• Increases energy savings
• Results in an estimated 8% to 12% cost savings over which
might result from a predictive maintenance program
Disadvantages
• Increases investment in diagnostic equipment
• Increases investment in staff training
• Savings potential is readily seen by management
There are many advantages of using a predictive maintenance
program. A well-orchestrated predictive maintenance program
will all but eliminate catastrophic equipment failures. Staff will
then be able to schedule maintenance activities to minimize or
eliminate overtime costs. And, inventory can be minimized, as
parts or equipment will not need to be ordered ahead of time
to support anticipated maintenance needs. Equipment will be
operated at an optimal level, which will also save energy costs
and increase plant reliability.
Past studies have estimated that a properly functioning
predictive maintenance program can provide a savings of
8% to 12% over a program utilizing preventive maintenance
strategies alone. Depending on a facility’s reliance on a reactive
maintenance approach and material condition, savings
opportunities of 30% to 40% could easily be realized.
In fact, independent surveys indicate the following industrial
average savings resulted from initiation of a functional predictive
maintenance program:
• Return on investment: 10 times
• Reduction in maintenance costs: 25% to 30%
• Elimination of breakdowns: 70% to 75%
• Reduction in downtime: 35% to 45%
• Increase in production: 20% to 25%
The down side of using a predictive maintenance approach are
its initial costs. The up-front costs of starting this type of program
can be expensive. Much of the equipment requires expenditures
in excess of $50,000. And, training of in-plant personnel to
effectively utilize predictive maintenance technologies and
practices will require substantial additional funding. And,
beginning a predictive maintenance program requires an
understanding of the facility’s predictive maintenance needs and
the approaches which need to be undertaken. It is also essential
to have a firm commitment, by management and all facility staff
and organizations, to make it work.

vibration AnalysisThis is the predominant technology employed in condition monitoring to determine the condition of various mechanical components and hence be able to make a prediction on service life expectancy and urgency of repairs.
It is a non-invasive technique which collects
vibration data from machines under normal
operating conditions. Vibration readings are
typically taken at bearing locations following
accepted industry practices and conventions.
This raw waveform data is then transformed
into a spectral format and analyzed with
proprietary software which allows analysis to
take place.
Vibration Analysis provides the best indication
of machine condition and the presence of
faults as it can detect imbalance, misalignment,
looseness, bearing and gear defects, lubrication
problems, resonance, and cavitation, amongst
others. Trending data over time allows wear
severity and progression to be monitored,
improving the predictive capabilities.
A high degree of skill and training is required
to be able to interpret vibration data. As such
reports are tabled in non technical terms
and use a traffic light system to illustrate the
severity of the fault detected. Green suggests
monitoring is within allowable limits, amber
means a fault/issue has been identified
and requires some attention or further
monitoring, whilst red indicates a severe fault
which requires immediate attention to avoid
equipment failure.
Limitations of this technology are largely
related to the frequency and operating
conditions under which the data is collected.
Occasionally faults can develop quickly and
failures occur before the next scheduled
survey. Identifying critical equipment and
understanding their maintenance history will
assist in developing an appropriate program.

infrared thermographyUsing a camera designed to capture heat energy in the infra-red (IR) spectrum, abnormal temperature conditions in machines and electrical devices can be identified.
It is common for insurance companies to
require 6-12 monthly external audits of all
electrical panels. In mechanical systems an IR
image can detect issues like bearings running
at high temperatures which will then require
further investigation as it can be due to a lack
of lubrication, misalignment, etc.
In electrical systems, issues like overheating
electric motors, loose or faulty connectors,
excess current draw, overloaded circuits, etc
can be identified.
In the thermal image on this page, we can see
that the connection for the main cable of one
of the phases is operating at temperatures
much higher than the other two. This indicates
an excessive current draw and on investigation,
the company discovered additional equipment
had been connected to the circuit without the
electrical circuit’s limitations being considered.
IR technology provides thermal images of
temperature differentials within the detection
field. It is then reliant on human understanding
of the image to determine the presence of
faults or otherwise.

Dy regional Saw Mill
A regional saw mill that processes hard and soft wood timbers for the flooring industry reduces its fire risk by employing BSC Engineering Services to perform 6-monthly thermography analysis and reporting.
A saw mill is a tough environment for both mechanical and
electrical equipment. Shock and vibration forces are produced
as large logs and timber move through the saw mill process.
The vibration can loosen nuts and bolts on connectors and the
resulting spark can ignite fine dust particles which invariably
enter electrical enclosures. These fires, often fanned by the
enclosures cooling system, spread rapidly posing a major
threat to equipment and personnel alike!
By conducting regular thermography scans and introducing
preventative maintenance procedures to extract dust build up
on a regular basis, our customer has not had an electrical fire in
over two years. Not only is reducing the fire risk a good thing,
but the program ensures compliance with the customers
insurance company policy and reduces premiums and excess
liabilities.

lubrication Management
oil Analysis
A key component of an effective predictive maintenance program includes well designed and run lubrication management programs and schedules.
Too often lubrication is assigned to poorly
trained and unskilled personnel or left to
production personnel. This leads to a myriad
of issues including over and under greasing,
incorrect grease use and incompatibility issues,
wastage and disposal problems and costs, and
ultimately reduced component service life!
BSC Engineering Services can assist by auditing
your existing practices and develop an
integrated lubrication management system.
Options include computer based lubrication
scheduling, recording and consumption
data, colour coded and individual lube point
identification, relubrication intervals and
quantities calculations, and a
‘consolidate and save’ assessment to
reduce the number of lubricants used on site
(where possible).
Oil analysis is a cost effective method for determining the condition of existing lubricants and hence, predicting remaining service life.
Programs can consist of either in-house or
external testing which tests for four major
indicators, - base oil degradation, water
content, presence of contaminants, and
presence of iron particles. As an example,
in food plants it is common to have water
contamination of gearboxes as a result of daily
high pressure washdowns. Even very small
concentrations of water will lead to premature
bearing and gear failure due to corrosion.
Full spectrographical analysis by approved
laboratories can be used to verify findings and
for further investigation of oil condition which
in turn, can be used as part of root cause failure
analysis.

BSC Engineering Services offer a wide range of corrective measures to complement your predictive maintenance program, or as stand alone services.
Mis-alignment in mechanical systems such as motor/pump assemblies is a major factor in increased wear and premature failures.
Using traditional alignment techniques
incorporating straight edges and dial indicators
are extremely time consuming, subject to
methodology errors, and physical limitations.
Laser alignment techniques are both fast and
accurate and reduce the potential for human
error. Aligned equipment runs more smoothly,
quietly and substantially increases component
service life.
Modern laser alignment systems are extremely
accurate and easy to use with clear colour
screens, step-by-step instructions, and colour
pictorial displays.
Unbalanced fans, pumps and rotors place undue stresses and additional loads on bearings, motors and couplings substantially reducing component service life, and potentially causing a catastrophic failure which can damage surrounding equipment and harm employees.
Often after major mechanical work on this type
of equipment, re-balancing combined with
alignment are required to ensure optimum
operating efficiency. Onsite dynamic and static
balancing is a service customers are requiring
more frequently.

operation Stop leak
BSC Engineering Services utilising Ultrasonic Leak Detection has produced annual savings of $80,000 for a large Sydney based printing works.
Producing high volume magazine and brochure print requires
volumes of compressed air to be transported to machinery
throughout the plant as do many packaging processing
plants. This particular printer uses three large Atlas Copco
Compressors to service their plant and was concerned about
their inability to identify problem leaks.
Using the Ultrasonic Leak Detection service BSC Engineering
Services were able to tag and locate the costly leaks providing
a comprehensive report on the actions and products required
to repair the compressed air system. Three months later with
all the leaks rectified the company was able to
shut down one of their compressors as the third compressor
was just servicing their air leaks.
This was a cost saving of $80,000 in energy costs alone and
a substantial reduction in green house emissions! The third
compressor is used today as a back up and in time will be
decommissioned further reducing maintenance and
operating costs.
Air and steam leaks are some of the biggest contributors to needless costs in any industrial facility.
A leak is a costly drain on overall operating
costs. State-of-the-art ultrasonic equipment is
used to identify leaks.
The “Operation Stop Leak” Process is the first
step in continuous improvement. Every
identifiable leak, including fittings, valves,
flanges and hoses are tagged with a number,
its location, severity and cost. From this, total
estimated savings are generated within a
corresponding report. The report provides a
detailed format for a targeted approach and
allows monitoring of progress by cfm and
dollars saved.
Objectives of Operation Stop Leak
• Identify Air and Fluid Leaks
• Reduce energy usage
• Reduce fluid loss
• Identify Cost Savings
• Energy savings translate into cost savings
• Reduce cleanup costs
• Increase Safety & Reliability
• Identifying air and fluid leaks enable

The ROLLCHECk® laser roll alignment system
is lightweight, compact and durable. Using
proven reflected laser beam technology for
maximum angular resolution, it provides you
with the most reliable and accurate visual
reading. ROLLCHECk® aligns rolls up to 2.5m
diameter with roll to roll spans of 3m.
The ROLLCHECk® MINI is designed for
applications up to 100mm diameter with
1m spans.
The ROLLCHECk® laser line is projected from
the transmitter to the reflector mounted on
the roll to be checked or aligned. The laser line
projected to the reference line on the reflector
indicates immediately if the roll is aligned
vertically to the stationary roll. The laser line
is then automatically reflected back to the
transmitter’s reference line indicating if the rolls
are parallel to one another. This system is very
easy to use; a single person can perform the
alignment task in minutes with no training! The
ROLLCHECk® and ROLLCHECk® MINI come in
their own durable carrying case.
Benefits
• Reduce downtime and product waste due
to misalignment of rolls.
• Increase production with proper alignment
of rolls
• Compact design, fits into small spaces.
• FAST and EASY to use
• No training required
• One-person operation
• Facilitates more frequent roll checks
• Pays for itself quickly
• Uses proven reflected beam technology
• Available in 2 models:
› ROLLCHECk® for 3m span
› ROLLCHECk® mini for 1m span

The PULLEY PARTNER laser pulley alignment
system by Seiffert Industrial is lightweight,
compact and durable. The unit magnetically
attaches to the inside or outside face of any
pulley or sprocket and has no small parts
or targets that can get lost. It uses proven
reflected laser beam technology for maximum
angular resolution, thus providing you with the
most reliable and accurate readings that no
other method or tool can match.
A laser line is projected from the PULLEY
PARTNER transmitter to the reflector mounted
on the opposite pulley. A reference line on
the reflector indicates offset and vertical angle
misalignment immediately. The laser line
is then automatically reflected back to the
transmitter’s reference line to show horizontal
angle misalignment. This ensures all major
aspects of pulley misalignment are resolved.
This tool is so easy to use, a single operator can
perform the alignment task in minutes with no
training! Three different models are available to
suit different requirements and budgets.
Benefits
• Reduces vibration and belt noise
• Prolongs belt and pulley life
• FAST and EASY to use
• No training required
• More accurate and efficient than any other
tool or conventional method
• Shows angular, parallel, and offset
simultaneously

in-Groove Pulley Alignmentfixturlaser PAtThe solution to all your belt alignment needs!
With the Fixturlaser PAT, you are never in doubt
on whether your belt transmissions are aligned
or not. By using the groove as reference, you
will achieve a precise alignment which reduces
belt wear, bearing failures and vibrations.
The Fixturlaser PAT comes with two line laser
transmitters, each equipped with two spring
loaded guides which fit into the pulley grooves.
The Fixturlaser PAT is equipped with various
sized removable guides to fit standard sheave
sizes A-E (6 mm - 40 mm). Additional guides
for alignment of timing belts are available as
accessories.
The use of two laser transmitters with
integrated targets, makes it very easy to find
out what kind of alignment that is required.
Parallel offset, angular error and twist are
instantly visible to the operator. Within a few
minutes, the operator can determine if the
machine requires alignment or not.
The alignment process is as easy as the
mounting. Just turn on the lasers and look at
the opposite mounted unit. The laser draws
a line on the target label as in the illustration
above. If necessary, adjust your machine
position until the laser lines are aligned with
the centre mark on both units.
Features
• Dual laser technology
• Fast accurate alignments
• Easy to use

Measures belt tension using the elongation
method. No predetermined calculation
required as the tension values are shown on
the gauge. Simplest method to apply correct
belt tension. Can be used on V-belts and
banded belts.
Measures the natural frequency of vibration in
the belt span. Allows simple, fast, repeatable
tension measurements and can be used on
virtually any belt type. Considered the most
precise method to determine belt tension.

Electronic tensiometer
v-Belt tensionersIncorrect tensioning of v-belts is the number one cause of premature v-belt failure causing unnecessary down time and losses.
Under tightened v-belts cause excessive
slippage and friction generating heat and wear.
Over tightened belts create excessive bearing
loads on mating components reducing
service life.
The old ‘thumb press’ method is not an
accurate measure of correct tension!

Using induction heating to fit bearings, gears,
sprockets, couplings, and pulleys is the fastest,
cleanest and easiest way to install components
easily and safely. The induction heater
rapidly heats the component which expands
sufficiently to allow it to slide into place over
the shaft. As the component cools it returns to
original size and is then fitted on the shaft.
Linmast are a leading Australian manufacturer
and supplier of a full range of bearing heaters.
Features
• Uniform heating of components
• Parts remain clean and uncontaminated
• Easy to operate – touch pad LCD screen
• A range of sizes available.
