The Challenge

A critical fan began showing rapid signs of degradation. Relying solely on periodic manual checks meant the risk of missing early fault indicators—potentially leading to a line-stopping failure and costly downtime.

The Skyler Solution

On October 11, Skyler’s continuous monitoring platform flagged rising vibration and temperature trends on the fan’s drive-end and non-drive-end bearings.

What We Detected

Vibration evidence

Rising vibration velocity and acceleration trends

Pattern

1x running-speed harmonics, wide-band noise increase

Temperature

Temperature Increase from 35°C→ 60°C

Diagnostic result

Imbalance and structural looseness

Running speed and harmonics indicate increased vibration energy across a wide frequency band.

Trend shows a sharp rise on Oct 11–14, followed by a return to normal levels after bearing replacement.

Our Recommendations

  • 1
    Inspect:

    Inspect structural weak points and damper position
  • 2
    Check:

    Check fan blade condition
  • 3
    Verify:

    Verify motor anchoring nd soft-foot condition

The Result?
