While condition monitoring systems have obvious advantages to the manufacturing sector, other industries are now also benefiting from their use.Preventing maintenance problems using condition monitoring systems has obvious advantages to manufacturing plants. However, other sectors, such as the marine industry, are now starting to see the benefits of implementing similar vibration-based detection systems onboard ships.

TRIM® SC609 is a highly versatile product that works well in a wide range of operations including grinding, milling, turning, drilling and tapping. It has been formulated for maximum stability against bacteria or fungus and is extremely hard water tolerant. Superior corrosion prevention is assured thanks to fast wetting that quickly and effectively coats the workpiece and chips.
True to the TRIM® ethos, this new semi synthetic contains no DEA, boron, chlorine, sulphur EP, nitrites or phenolic compounds. It is easily recycled or disposed of without special handling or equipment.
Monitran, a world leader in the development and manufacture of sensors for the measurement of vibration and displacement, has launched the VS0004, a complete condition monitoring and alarm module.
Fixed to a piece of plant machinery, the VS0004 can respond to a rise in vibration levels in a number of user-definable ways. The unit has two alarm levels, with the user able to set Alarm 1 between 1 and 50mm/s and with Alarm 2 capable of being set as a multiple of Alarm 1, either 1.5, 2, 3 or 5x.

Rolls-Royce has been highly satisfied with the use of lubricants made by Klüber for their low-pressure hydraulic motors for deck machinery, and consequently recommends them to their customers: The Klüber product GRAFLOSCON B-SG 00 Ultra is to be used for running in the tooth flanks, while Klüberfluid C-F 3 Ultra is recommended for subsequent operational lubrication.
The adhesive lubricants developed for open gears by Klüber Lubrication meet the demanding requirements of anchor handling winches and have proven successful on such vessels for many years. A further benefit is that the company offers a comprehensive range of priming, running-in, operating and repair lubricants. Klüberfluid, for example, is a series of highly viscous, transparent adhesive lubricants enabling a long component life by protecting tooth flanks reliably against wear and corrosion. The fluids' good adhesion and specific formulation make for long relubrication intervals and hence a tangible reduction of operating costs.
Moreover, disposal of these lubricants after use is unproblematic since they are free of bitumen, heavy metals, solvents or chlorine. Also, the quantity of Klüberfluid required for reliable lubrication is up to 50 percent lower than with operating lubricants containing graphite. All this results in considerably lower costs for the user, based on the products' high efficiency, eco-friendliness and the lower disposal costs.
By introducing new digital functionality to its belt alignment and tensioning instruments, FAG Industrial Services has made its SMARTY2 and TRUMMY2 devices even more accurate and easier to use.
