SKF Machine Condition Advisor CMAS 100-SL

Machine monitoring, made simple

Now both novice users and experts can easily, quickly, and accuray check the condition of rotating equipment throughout your facility. Equipping your maintenance and operations personnel with this rugged, ergonomic and easy-to-use instrument can provide early warning of potential machine problems before a costly failure occurs.

Multiple measurements with a single device
The SKF Machine Condition Advisor provides an overall “Velocity” vibration reading that measures vibration signals from the machine caused by rotational and structural problems such as unbalance, misalignment and looseness and automatically compares them to pre-programmed International Organization for Standardization （ISO） guidelines. An “Alert” or “Danger” alarm displays when measurements exceed those guidelines.
Simultaneously an “Enveloped Acceleration” measurement in the higher frequencies is taken. Elevated reading are caused by rolling element bearing or gear mesh problems and compared to established bearing vibration guidelines to verify conformity or indicate potential bearing damage.
The SKF Machine Condition Advisor also measures temperature using an infrared sensor to indicate uncharacteristic heat.
This approach provides accurate and reliable data upon which to base maintenance decisions and promotes early detection, confirmation and accurate trending of bearing and machinery problems.
