Global Engineering Solutions Review

Rotary machines have a natural process of creating vibrations, which makes the important parts of the machine worn out, especially bearings and gears which will end up causing failure of the system. It is commonly accepted that Vibration analysis is the most popular diagnostic tool that is currently used to examine the condition of machinery and offer suggestions on maintenance policy. The last element of proactive maintenance strategies is condition-based maintenance (CBM), which maximizes the availability of machines by applying timely interventions and reducing expensive breakdowns. This study project seeks to develop an extensive system that will facilitate the assessment of the working condition of the rotary equipment and the most significant parts of it, particularly focus on bearings. The two are interdependent as a wellmaintained machine will need less care and a machine in the process of degradation needs quick action taken. The rotary machines are very important in many industrial pr ocesses and thus find heavy challenges due to bearing problems. The difficulties cause significant disturbances to the production process and increase the cost of maintenance. The paper at hand investigates the effectiveness of CBM as a possible remedy of the abovementioned problems. CBM is a maintenance technique that makes use of real-time machine information to make informed decisions on what to do concerning the maintenance. Through this strategy, maintenance tasks would be implemented at the most appropriate time, which would be the most efficient and effective. CBM is a planning method that enables the businesses to take a proactive initiative to counter the failure, enhance maintenance schedules, and general efficiency of the business by properly estimating the remaining periods of usage of machine parts. The research study is also adding knowledge to the existing knowledge on CBM and it provides useful insights on predictive maintenance, and its potential of improving the reliability and efficiency of rotary machinery.
