CENT Condition Monitoring Offers Greater Reliability and Economy

Every company will have mechanical plant & equipment which could fail without warning; causing problems which range from mild inconvenience to complete catastrophe. The FUCHS CENT system can help prevent these problems.

CENT will provide maintenance mangers with regular and accurate reports that give clear indication of the condition of plant & equipment. Based on sophisticated laboratory and computer analysis and diagnosed by condition monitoring experts, the CENT report will highlight problems before failure occurs, there-by ensuring maintenance decisions effectively eliminate or reduce the possibility of mechanical failure.

How does CENT work?

CENT uses wear debris and vibration monitoring techniques to measure the condition of plant and equipment.

Regular, scheduled analysis of used oil samples and vibration data enables accurate alarm levels and trends to be established for individual applications. The unique CENT Metallurgy Database also allows for the identification of specific components within the application that are giving cause for alarm.

The complex data is presented in an easily understandable, full colour CENT report, which uses graphical trends and traffic light status indicators. Reports are then sent out by e-mail, Internet or post.

Where can CENT be used?

The FUCHS CENT System can benefit a wide spectrum of mechanical plant & equipment including:
