SKF Pulse Predictive Maintenance App

March 29, 2019
A portable sensor and mobile app from SKF puts simplified machine health data collection within everyone's reach.

SKF Pulse combines an easy-to-use handheld sensor with a new mobile app, allowing users to quickly monitor rotating equipment and machine health to predict issues and improve reliability before operations are impacted.

 

For more advanced analysis, users can request an SKF Pulse Check directly via the app. The request goes to an SKF diagnostics center where experts remotely analyze the machine data and respond with recommended corrective actions to improve equipment performance if required.

 

SKF Pulse has an intuitive visual interface that guides users through the data collection process. Users enter asset information that automatically configures alarm thresholds based on ISO standards. Thresholds can also be customized if desired.

 

Designed for MRO managers and staff in a wide range of industries—including food and beverage, cement, marine, oil and gas, pulp and paper, steel, mining, chemical processing, and other industries—Pulse provides a cost-effective entry point for a do-it-yourself, preventive maintenance program.

 

Unlimited assets can be monitored with one sensor. For extra scalability, more sensors can be added as part of a broader vibration analysis program. Data and asset information can be shared throughout the facility.

  • Velocity, acceleration, and temperature measurement of rotating equipment
  • Bluetooth communication with iOS mobile devices
  • Rugged industrial design: drop test of 6 ft and water and dust-resistant (IP65)
  • Rechargeable lithium battery (with eight hours normal usage)
