Non-contact bearing deflection measurement is achieved using the ST310 BearingVIEW system from Sequence Technologies. Periodic testing of large diameter bearings is typically performed by cumbersome manual measurements using dial indicators. Sequence Technologies has solved by developing a precise laser based method for measuring deflection which saves time and eliminates potential safety hazards associated with confined space regulations.

The ST310 BearingVIEW uses a pair of triangulation laser sensors, portable data acquisition hardware and proprietary software to safely measure turret bearing deflection. Two ST203-1 laser sensors,

mounted in air purged protective enclosures inside the turret, are positioned on brackets which allow them to continuously measure bearing deflection at all times. Cables connect the sensors to the ST300 DatAQ portable data acquisition system and laptop, which can be located out of harms way. The interactive software running on the laptop allows the operator to measure deflection samples one at a time, or automatically over an extended period up to 24 hours. In addition to the displacement results from the lasers, accelerometers may be used in conjunction to gain further insight to the health of the bearing. KEY FEATURES Non-contact displacement measurements Record and view live measurements Save and review historical data on the PC Designed for industrial applications Rugged, mill-duty components Analyze laser displacement along with accelerometer

frequency data on one system BENEFITS Eliminate unreliable recording of dial indicators Comply with confined space Safety Regulations Facilitate ISO certification

Measurement Principle The ST310 uses two highly accurate triangulation laser sensors to measure deflection of the bearing as loading occurs. Laser measurements are taken manually or autonomously for extended periods.
