By measuring torque and thrust on the propulsion shaft, we give insights into the exact operational efficiency and fuel consumption.
No idea about the actual loads bearings experience in operation? Are bearing (design) failures causing unwanted downtime? Do the bearings not meet their calculated life of operation?
Introducing Smart Photonics Sleeve, an innovative optical sensing solution designed to measure real-time bearing loads with precision and accuracy. With continuous load monitoring, the Smart Photonics Sleeve empowers operators to optimize bearing design, prevent failures proactively, and significantly optimize operation based on real usage.
Bearing type and lifetime calculation are based on assumptions, while the real operation is different.
In driveline warrenty cases there is no information by suppliers on how their system is actually operated.
Many rotating systems are operating outside their efficient operating window creating failures, waste and costing money.
Benefits of implementing GearUp
- Improved reliability: Get real bearing loads and behavor insight enables simulation validation and better, more reliable and lighter designs.
- Early fault detection: Torque combined with vibration monitoring precisely simplifies anomalies detection, enabling improved maintenance before critical failures occur.
- Maximize asset performance: Insights into exact field usage gives used and remaining life. This gives enables control input to optimize output, while keeping the asset in optimal running conditions.

Vibration monitoring detect failures before they occur, so maintenance can be planned and downtime can be prevented. By adding operation parameters to vibration monitoring, more precise estimations can be made and analysis is easier.
This can done directly from our edge device to your scada, PLC or test system or via an API from our cloud database.
All rotating equipment from motors, pumps and wind and marine drivelines to large application as tunnelboring, mining or paper production.
