PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & SYSTEM MONITORING

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICES & SOLUTIONS TO PREDICT FAILURES

Motion Fluid Power preventive maintenance program offers insight into your assets’ health, to help plan and predict potential failures. Lack of maintenance of hydraulic systems is the leading cause of component and system failure. We can recommend checks and replacements when it is time and provide you with the correct tools, parts, safety precautions and environmental concerns or hazards for your hydraulic and pneumatic systems. 

Our Preventive Maintenance Capabilities & Solutions Include:

  • ASSESS: Perform an on-site survey of your fluid power components and determine where sensors are needed and help develop a network configuration for these.
  • DESIGN: Provide a customized solution for your needs and an installation plan that will work best for the desired application.
  • IMPLEMENT: Install the hardware and software needed for monitoring and provide training.
  • REPAIR OR REPLACE: Decide what items can be repaired or must be replaced.
  • PREDICT: Help assess alerts when an asset’s health indicates potential risks of failure.
  • MONITOR: Survey your assets’ performance with our system monitoring program.

VIBRATION, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE, LUBRICATION & FLUID LEVELS

SYSTEM MONITORING FOR FLUID POWER

Motion Fluid Power will assist in monitoring various areas such as vibration, temperature, pressure, lubrication, and fluid levels.

We can provide a complete health monitoring system consisting of temperature, level and particle sensors, as well as a programmable controller. These components will work together to inform customers of the status of their hydraulic fluid condition and alert them to trends indicating potential problem areas.

Vibration red icon

VIBRATION

Monitors can detect faults in industrial parts by gathering raw vibration data from components of the system and isolate individual frequencies to pinpoint where the issue is occurring. The amplitude will indicate how strong the vibrations are. This data will help determine if the vibration is a concern or if it can be left alone.

Temperature red icon

TEMPERTATURE

Inefficiencies cause the heating of hydraulic fluid. These inefficiencies are the result of input power loss, which is converted to heat. Infrared thermometers can check the performance of the heat exchanger; detecting pressure drops can indicate internal leakage.

Pressure red icon

PRESSURE

Controlling pressure within hydraulic systems is achieved by metering the flow of a fluid into or out of a constrained volume. The main component of the pressure sensor is a sensing element and strain gauge. These pressure sensors are transducers, generating electrical signals in proportion to the pressure they measure.

 

Lubrication red icon

LUBRICATION

Feedback can be as simple as a lubricant level indicator for the reservoir or incorporating a more complex system that will confirm a completed lubrication cycle or signal that a blockage has occurred.

Fluid levels red icon

FLUID LEVELS

There are many different types of fluid level sensors depending on the requirements of the application. Accurate measurements tied to pressure and fluid level are important to prevent overflow, a pump from running dry, or a lubricating system from running out of fluid. These situations can cause equipment damage, downtime, and extra costs.
