Case Studies and Stories
Success Case: Preventing Critical Failure in a Paper Machine Guide Roll
Since January 14th, we increased the frequency of measurements on a guide roll bearing in a paper machine due to rising acceleration levels. We did not have online monitoring, so our condition-based approach was crucial in detecting early signs of failure. The roll was in a challenging location, hidden behind the frame, making maintenance complex. Replacing the roll also meant changing the wire, which was not yet at the end of its campaign.

Two Minute Tips
Avoiding Bearing Failure Through Proper Grease Management
More than 60% of bearing failures are due to lubrication, and grease failures contribute more than the oil. Whenever the bearings are replaced in the housing, mostly the housing is fully packed with the grease without keeping empty space and started operating the bearing after the housing end cover is sealed.
