Don’t forget to maintain and calibrate

Published:  06 December, 2022

Monitoring the performance of large rotating plant is an essential part of proactive maintenance helping to avert problems whilst prolonging the life and efficiency of plant and equipment. However, what about the servicing and calibration of the actual condition monitoring systems?

To provide the function, efficiency and true value, the monitoring systems themselves require regular calibration and servicing. For example, an incorrectly calibrated sensor may not provide the accurate alerts you need to replace wearing or faulty components in time to prevent downtime and may even invalidate your insurance.

Condition monitoring specialist SENSONICS offer not only a wide range of industry leading vibration, temperature, position and rotational speed systems for large rotary plant, they also provide calibration, servicing and spares which will help customers get the best value from their investment.
