Complete guide to Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance, according to the Brazilian law NBR5462, is “maintenance that ensures the monitoring of assets, based on the systematic application of analysis techniques. Using centralized supervision or sampling methods, it aims to minimize preventive maintenance to a minimum and reduce corrective maintenance”. It is a strategy applied mainly to predict and avoid failures in… Continue reading Complete guide to Predictive Maintenance

Conveyor Belt Failure Detection via Vibration Analysis

Practical use of autocorrelation and circular waveform A coupling problem was identified and corrected in a conveyor belt at Vale’s Cauê Plant, in Itabira-MG, through continuous monitoring of the condition with triaxial vibration sensors from Dynamox. In the following video you can also see the image of the coupling, which shows damage to the elastic… Continue reading Conveyor Belt Failure Detection via Vibration Analysis
