Contexto

Bearings are essential components in rotating machinery and are widely used across various industries. However, approximately 30% of mechanical failures worldwide result from bearing damage, severely affecting equipment performance.

During operation, factors like insufficient oil, collisions, and friction can raise bearing temperatures, leading to the “burning shaft” phenomenon. Fatigue wear, cracks, surface peeling, and impurities can cause abnormal vibrations and bearing damage. In extreme cases, anchor bolts may break, bearings may burn out, or bearing bushes may dislodge.

To prevent sudden failures, it is crucial to monitor the real-time condition of bearings and take preventive measures to ensure smooth operation.

Solución

InHand's Remote Monitoring Solution of Bearings

InHand Networks provides a remote monitoring solution for bearings powered by the IG902 industrial edge computing gateway. This solution collects key bearing data, such as vibration, lubrication, temperature, and abrasion, and uploads it to the cloud for analysis and predictive maintenance.

The system includes bearings, sensors (vibration, temperature, lubrication, etc.), the IG902, Device Manager, and a third-party cloud platform. Sensors transmit collected data to the IG902, where protocols are analyzed and converted into a standard format. The IG902 then sends this data to the cloud, where it is stored and analyzed.

In the cloud, advanced tools evaluate the bearing’s status and generate actionable insights for maintenance teams. This process ensures timely preventive maintenance, minimizes downtime, and extends the lifespan of bearings.
