Vibration monitoring is the most reliable method to ensure early identification of mechanical faults – often
months in advance. Drive Train Condition Monitoring records the relevant data for all components in the
drive train and transmits it to the
Siemens Expert Center for analysis,
together with parameters such as
temperature or torque.

Drive Train Condition Monitoring from Siemens

Scalable services to monitor your entire drive
train
Identify impending damage in good time – using Drive
Train Condition Monitoring
Only Siemens maintains an overview of the entire
drive train
Ensuring permanent availability in production plants is
the top priority for every operator. It is the only way to
guarantee the continuous productivity of industrial manufacturing, conveying and processing systems – and Drive
Train Condition Monitoring is necessary to achieve this
goal. It enables the scheduling of maintenance activities
along the entire drive train based on the condition of the
system. Key components are the motors and gearboxes.
They have to be monitored constantly if impending damage is to be identified and rectified in good time.
By monitoring the entire drive train, Siemens experts
can also include interactions between the individual
components in their analysis. The monitoring data is
combined within a single system and is analyzed by certified Siemens experts. Plant operators are then contacted
in good time, before any critical changes take place, to
enable countermeasures to be introduced promptly.
Customers receive regular, clearly structured status
reports from their personal contacts.
“The combination of motor and gearbox monitoring
helps substantially reduce lifecycle costs and increasing
productivity.”
Klaus Selbach, Product Manager
Three good reasons for Drive Train Condition Monitoring
1. A Condition Monitoring System with optimized services – one source, one contact person
2. Online monitoring and data evaluation by certified Siemens experts
3. Condition-based maintenance reduces costs and increases efficiency

Motor Condition Monitoring
Flexible motor condition monitoring
Drive components such as motors are often exposed to
extreme stresses and are constantly subject to varying
levels of wear and tear, depending on their length of service and the loads placed on them. The strains can often
remain invisible to the naked eye for quite some time,
leading to outages and unplanned downtimes which may
bring financial losses that cannot be calculated. It is therefore vital to be able to correctly assess component status
at all times.
By continuously monitoring the motors, changes in their
operating status can be identified at an early stage and
the appropriate countermeasures can be introduced. This
makes it possible to avoid costly plant downtimes and
production outages. Siemens Industry Services offers a
condition monitoring portfolio as part of a service contract that includes standardized and individual solutions
for all sizes of plant.
“If unexpected damage is imminent, you can schedule
plannable countermeasures to avoid unplanned production downtime.”
Klaus Selbach, Product Manager
Three good reasons for Motor Condition Monitoring from Siemens
1. Increased motor availability thanks to detailed familiarity with machine condition
2. Ideal productivity and reliability for your plant and systems
3. Improved servicing intervals and reduced maintenance costs

Drive systems are key elements in evaluating the reliability and availability of a production system. Using Condition Monitoring makes it possible to monitor key drive
components that are susceptible to wear.
This means that irregularities in operation
can be identified at an early stage, so that
plannable maintenance and repair measures can be performed.

Gearbox Condition Monitoring
Flexible gearbox condition monitoring
The top priority for all operators is to ensure the availability of mechanical drive systems. It is the only way to guarantee continuous productivity of manufacturing, conveying and processing systems in industry and primary
production. Achieving this goal requires condition-based
maintenance of the drive systems.
The Gearbox Condition Monitoring System, a subset of
Drive Train Condition Monitoring, is a diagnostic tool
offered by Siemens that is perfectly tailored to these individual plant operator requirements. Mobile vibration measurement and online condition monitoring systems with
remote service make condition-based maintenance a reality. The diagnostic expertise of Siemens’ gearbox experts,
combined with its automation technology, significantly
extends the possibilities offered by traditional condition
monitoring.
“Gearbox Condition Monitoring interprets the data perfectly: damage that causes even just minor changes in
vibration characteristics is diagnosed at an early stage
as the trend develops.”
Dr. Jörg Deckers, Senior Key Expert Condition Monitoring
Three good reasons for Gearbox Condition Monitoring from Siemens
1. Sufficient lead times for maintenance work
2. Maximum diagnostic reliability assured by the comprehensive technological and product knowledge and
industry skills of the diagnostic staff
3. Gearbox service directly from the manufacturer – reliable, global, 24/7
