Gearbox design smashes engineering barriers
Considered a breakthrough in the world of industrial transmissions, a gearbox offers a service life of greater than 50,000 hours - 30,000 more than the industry average.
Packaging improvement prevents bearing damage
A versatile, robust and environmentally friendly packaging solution for the transportation of large-size bearings affords easier and safer handling and superior protection.
The GX-E is designed for ease of use, with a large colour display, responsive action, and a minimum of user configuration settings.
Furthermore, the device is able to select the optimum data acquisition settings, such as ICP, auto-triggering and machine speed selection.
Due to its modular design, the GX-E can be upgraded as maintenance engineers' asset monitoring needs evolve.
The unit can be converted to a GX-M model with Two Channel and Balancing modules installed, or a GX-S model through the addition of Bump Test and Data Recorder modules.
This generates significant cost savings for operators, removing the need to replace instruments as their requirements change.
The Microlog analyser GX-E forms a complete condition monitoring system when used with its accompanying simple to use and quick to install PC-based software, which allows engineers to carry out detailed analysis of the data collected in the field, and to produce comprehensive reports easily.
The analyser enables extremely fast and accurate data collection, utilising both digital signal processing (DSP) and a high resolution Sigma-Delta A/D converter.
The instrument incorporates a 400 MHz X-Scale Intel microprocessor and a Motorola DSP processor for added power and functionality, allowing the GX-E to outperform previous Microlog models' data acquisition times by up to 50%. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
It also has a data storage capacity of 64MB flash memory for internal storage, and features flash and Secure Digital (SD) memory expansion slots enabling almost limitless data storage possibilities.
