Alignment

Alignment

Misalignment between pinion and girth gear leads to uneven load distribution across tooth flanks, accelerating wear. Tooth flank temperature monitoring detects critical temperature deltas caused by misalignment, enabling early correction before damage occurs.

Lubrication

Lubrication

Inadequate or uneven lubrication leads to rapid wear and overheating. Monitoring spray system activity in combination with flank temperatures ensures lubricant reaches the mesh effectively, preventing dry contact and extending gear life.

Run-Out

Run-Out

Radial or axial run-out introduces cyclic load fluctuations and mesh instability. Inductive displacement sensors continuously track these deviations, helping identify mechanical deformation or improper installation early on.

Gear Crack

Gear Crack

Gear wear accumulates gradually but compromises long-term performance. High-resolution vibration monitoring with extended signal windows captures subtle gear mesh patterns at low speeds — vital for early wear detection in slow-rotating kilns and mills.
