Increase your capabilities:

MCM gives an early warning of developing faults in pumps, compressors, fans and other electric motor driven machinery. By measuring only voltages and currents, MCM can detect conditions arising from faulty bearings, misalignment errors, load imbalance, isolation, and a variety of electrical and mechanical faults.

Decrease your Maintenance Costs:

MCM maximises your available assets and eliminates the need for unplanned repair and maintenance, which in turn reduces your maintenance costs. The benefits are best realised when the motors are critical, at hard to reach places, or exposed to high vibration.

MCM: The Revolutionary Mechanical and Electric Fault Prediction Tool
Since MCM measures only voltages and currents, it may not be intuitively obvious as to how it can detect mechanical problems.

Motor Condition Monitor (MCM) — is an award winning product for predictive maintenance of electric motors and motor based machinery.

MCM’s primary purpose is to provide early warning of progressively deteriorating machine and process conditions, thereby maximising your assets by reducing unplanned downtime and improving revenue and savings.

MCM can detect mechanical failures such as:

  • Misalignments
  • Imbalance
  • Bearing & shaft problems
  • Leakage problems
  • Filter clogging
  • Chain tension related issues
  • Mis-adjustments,
  • Gearbox problems
  • And other mechanical problems that occur on the driven equipment.

In addition MCM can detect electrical problems such as isolation problems, rotor bar and other electrical problems, as well as the problems on process control and other control devices.
