Abstract
The chapter considers the predictive maintenance of machines and mechanisms basing on wear debris analysis because they relate to the mode and severity of wear. Review of laboratory, portable and on-line wear monitoring techniques based on wear debris analysis is presented. It is shown that if it is necessary to have maximal information on the wear particles it is advisable to use the laboratory methods. The complex built-in systems are justified for use in expensive and critical equipment (e.g. airplanes and helicopters).When complete information on the wear particles is not required, the simpler and less expensive field diagnosis methods are suitable. It was found that the magneto-optical field methods are the most promising. The portable and on-line versions of Opto-Magnetic Detector (OMD) are described. The operation of OMD is based on variation in optical density of oil containing ferromagnetic particles under the effect of magnetic field. OMD has been used in wear monitoring of industrial air compressor system for two years and it was found very sensitive to failure of the gear unit and metal bearings presenting earlier information on severe wear of friction units than vibration monitoring. Description of the Optical Ferroanalyzer is presented which in addition to Ferrograph allows one to estimate total contamination of the oil, increasing reliability of engine condition monitoring.
