BCA-111 Bearing Condition Analyser and Vibration Meter

Description

The Metravi Bearing Pulse Analyser BCA-111 combines the functions of a bearing pulse meter, a vibration meter, and a tachometer. It is used to check the operating condition of rotating machines, in order to detect mechanical faults and supply data for effective preventive maintenance.

With the BCA-111 maintenance personnel can monitor all significant aspects of mechanical machine conditions.

• the mechanical condition of rolling bearings  (bearing damage development).
• the lubrication condition of rolling bearing (lubricant film in the rolling interface).
• general machine condition (the effect of structural looseness, misalignment and out-of-balance on machine vibration).

The purpose of systematic condition monitoring is:

• to avoid unnecessary overhauls of machines in good working order.
• to avoid routine replacements of serviceable bearings.
• to improve the life expectancy of rolling bearings by optimising the lubrication.
• To detect trouble spots in time for planned repairs and replacements, avoiding both breakdowns and unnecessary production stops.

The condition monitoring functions of the Metravi BCA-111 is based on two widely used measuring techniques.

• Bearing Pulse Method for bearing monitoring.
• Broad band vibration velocity measurement according to ISO 2372.

The instrument requires few data inputs and allows an instant interpretation of machine condition by supplying.

• a direct indication of machine vibration and bearing condition in terms of good – reduced – bad.
• a digital display of lubrication condition data LFT No. and damage severity readings for bearings.
• Vibration severity readings in mm/s RMS
• Non-contact measurement of RPM
