Shock pulse monitoring in marine and offshore
SPM is a patented technique that utilizes signals from rolling element bearings as the basis for efficient condition monitoring of machines, offering instant evaluation of bearing condition in an easily understood green-yellow-red color scheme, and is widely used on vessels and offshore installations where reliable bearing performance is essential.
The Shock Pulse Method is a widely accepted philosophy for condition monitoring of rolling bearings and machine maintenance, particularly valuable in marine and offshore environments where bearings in propulsion lines, thrusters, winches, cranes, pumps, and auxiliary systems are exposed to varying loads, high humidity, and demanding operating conditions. Early and accurate detection of bearing deterioration supports safe operation and effective maintenance planning both onboard and offshore.
