Online vibration monitoring of tube mills
An unplanned downtime occurred in a Spenner tube mill. The plant was at a standstill for three weeks. After repairing the cost-intensive damage, an Schaeffler online monitoring system was installed. In use, the system detected gear damage on the gearbox during operation. It was possible to replace the gearbox during a planned shutdown.
