Example1: percentage 2:Gearboxbearingfailureduetohigh misalignment ofmoistureinthelubeoil Cumulative monitoring bearingdamage appearsonly dueto mechanical distress. Oil condition will generally identify a problem Itis only when mechanical this damage begins readily toappear that aby On line moisture content analysis could reveal alubrication The early manifestation of problem is picked up of thisnature when system metallurgical damage begins tooccur vibration analysis will identify a problem condition which could ultimately result in a mechanical failure. vibrationanalysisbeforedamageissustained
