Experience with SKF Idler Sound Monitoring Kit

Does it really works ? Even the SKF guys gave up due to the hood covers.

VinMan,

Tough question to answer. I have not used the SKF product, and I don't know the details of your conveyor arrangement. Regarding access: my first suggestion is to see if there is any way to avoid making holes. If conveyor is high overhead, then possibly use parabolic sensor and walk along below. If conveyor is slightly above ground/floor, then possibly place remote sensor on pole to reach in space below. I would not use any product that requires a sensor hole larger than 1". As previously indicated there are other alternatives (noncontact and contact sensors) to the SKF meter that could possibly adapt better to your situation. Another scheme would be to used vibration analyzer with ICP microphone and used frequency band alarms that match the bearing fault frequencies. Any system you choose should have audio headphones, because ears can be a great sensor too!

With 40-km of belt conveyors you need to make a good instrument choice based on trials and do lots of planning to make the job successful.

There are different types of conveyor belt materials, such as a solid rubber belt, a solid PVC belt, a mesh belt, a roller belt, and modular belt, to name a few. The type and textile of the belt plays an important role and is one of the main considerations when designing a conveyor system. For example, roller belts are generally used for hand sorting and assembling while mesh belts are used in food processing and operations that handle high temperatures, chemical, and corrosion.
