One of the fundamental principles of predictive maintenance could be "better safe than sorry". This requires a sound knowledge of the machines, taking into account the first signs of possible failures at an affordable cost.

Nowadays, predictive maintenance is based on the application of different technologies that maintenance departments use to avoid the risks of machinery failures, the frequency of failures and the level
of severity.
Another issue is when it comes to selecting the right analysis tools, technology and indicators for the early detection of a rotating machine failure, particularly on machines rotating at low revolutions. Ultrasonic technology is used for this diagnosis, as it can be implemented easily and efficiently.
SDT International took on this challenge on a rotating machine with a rotational speed of 8 RPM.
