Guard Gear - Condition Monitoring

The most optimal maintenance strategy is condition-based maintenance. For the most critical machines, online condition monitoring gives more reliability and service actions can be taken only when needed. In many industrial processes gearboxes are often critical components. As a forerunning gearbox manufacturer, we at Kumera Drives have developed a gearbox condition monitoring device: Guard Gear ©.

Technical data

Guard Gear is designed for diagnosing industrial gearboxes. The function of Guard Gear is based on measuring parameters that indicate incipient failure of mechanical components and lubrication oil. These are:

  • Vibration
  • Lubrication oil quality
  • Lubrication oil saturation level
  • Temperature
  • Rotational speed

It is possible to attach optional sensors measuring, for example, metallic particles or contamination of lubrication oil. Load or torque information from the process are monitored with Guard Gear©. Warning and alarm limits can be set for all variables. Measurement results are automatically saved into the external cloud database.
