OPTIME – Plug. Play. Predict.
Condition monitoring can be expensive. Which is why up to 95% of all machines inside factories are only sporadically monitored, or often not at all. This can lead to unplanned breakdowns and downtime.
OPTIME from Schaeffler allows for comprehensive condition monitoring that is both easy and affordable. Thanks to its simple plug & play installation, OPTIME allows you to start monitoring hundreds of rotating machines in just a few hours.
With the ability to work on almost all machines, OPTIME can detect potential damage, imbalances or misalignments – even weeks in advance! This enables you to easily and conveniently plan your long-term maintenance, manpower or spare-parts requirements
FAG OPTIME C4 lubricator now available
Rolling bearings depend on optimal lubrication to ensure long-term, reliable operation. In practice, however, manual relubrication is still part of the daily routine for many maintenance teams, and errors in this process remain one of the leading causes of bearing failures.
This is precisely where Schaeffler, the Motion Technology Company, provides solutions with its lubricators. The latest development in the portfolio, the FAG OPTIME C4, is capable of simultaneously supplying several lubrication points while storing a greater quantity of lubricant. For maintenance teams, this opens up broader application possibilities in servicing their machinery fleet.
FAG OPTIME C4 supplies up to four lubrication points
As a multi-point lubricator, the FAG OPTIME C4 features four outlets that can be programmed independently of one another. This allows a single lubricator to supply up to four lubrication points individually. As a result, only one device needs to be purchased, configured, and maintained to cover several points. In addition, both the outlet pressure and the fill volume of the lubricant cartridges are significantly higher.
The world’s first intelligent smart lubricator: OPTIME C1
The innovative lubrication monitoring solution consists of the smart OPTIME C1 lubricator, a C1 cartridge, a gateway, and digital service.
An app visualizes the data on a mobile device. (e.g. smartphone). The fill level of the lubricant cartridge and faults, such as line blockages, are displayed here.
The relevant data is transmitted directly from the OPTIME C1 to the Schaeffler cloud. The data can be conveniently accessed at any time and from anywhere. There is no need for control rounds. This saves time. Thanks to its compact design, the OPTIME C1 can be mounted almost anywhere – even in hard-to-reach places. This reduces the risk of accidents enormously.
