Mechanical Systems
MOTORS:
Motors are scanned to determine if the surface temperature exceeds the nameplate rating. If a motor is dirty, overloaded, and undersized or near end of life thermal imaging will detect uneven heating patterns indicating problems.
SHAFTS:
Shafts that show abnormal heating patterns will indicate misalignment.
BEARINGS:
Elevated temperature on bearings will indicate improper greasing or worn components.
