Magnetic Bearing Monitoring System

Spotting Trouble Before It Starts

magnetic bearing monitoring system

Magnetic bearings in industrial applications offer greater reliability than ever because of remote bearing monitoring capabilities that let users recognize and head off potential trouble before it even starts. That helps set Synchrony® products apart from earlier generations of magnetic bearings. Superior bearing vibration monitoring allows continuous system performance feedback to help you get the most from magnetic bearings capabilities, while keeping costs down.

Health monitoring of magnetic bearings previously required large, expensive hardware. Synchrony builds sensors right into radial and thrust bearings, and each "smart" bearing comes with its own IP address, so information can be fed into an HMI that’s easy to use and configurable to each operator’s needs. Regardless of your location.

 

Bearing Monitoring Capabilities

  • Monitor trends and changes in operating conditions
  • Predict and schedule pre-emptive maintenance shutdowns

  • Ensure maximum efficiency

 

 

Bearing Monitoring Parameters

 

Machine Monitoring Parameters Include:

  • Radial and axial forces
  • Eccentricity value
  • Peak to peak eccentricity
  • Radial expansion
  • Individual coil temperatures
  • Integrated power electronics temperatures
  • Individual coil current
  • Pair coil voltage
  • Velocity
  • Acceleration
  • Machine operating state (activity status, direction, etc.)

 

Rotordynamics and bearing optimization is another Synchrony service that helps you get the maximum performance from magnetic bearings.
