XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitor

Product catalog summary
Overview
The AMOT Bearing Condition Monitor - XTS-W is a critical tool for condition-based maintenance of 2-stroke low-speed engines. It monitors wear in the crank train bearings and can also detect water in oil content and electrical potential between the propeller shaft and hull, which can affect bearing life.

Functionality
The XTS-W uses sensors to convert physical displacement from bearing wear into electrical signals, processed by a signal processing unit (SPU). This data is displayed on a human-machine interface (HMI) for real-time monitoring. The system can be accessed locally or remotely and includes various components such as inductive sensors, a central processing unit, and optional sensors for water-in-oil and shaft earth device monitoring.

Benefits
The XTS-W eliminates the need for open-up inspections, reducing operational costs and risks of damage. It provides real-time data for effective decision-making, ensuring maximum uptime and minimum costs. The system is easy to install and use, suitable for both new and existing vessels, and offers comprehensive reporting.

Proven Solution
Type Approved by major IACS, the XTS-W is a proven component of condition-based maintenance programs. It is endorsed by MAN Diesel & Turbo, which has reduced the frequency of external inspections when the BCM is applied.

Risk Reduction
Open-up inspections can cause more harm than good, with statistics showing increased risks of damage. MAN Diesel & Turbo recommends avoiding unnecessary inspections, and the XTS-W supports this by providing continuous monitoring and data.

Contact Information
AMOT has multiple offices worldwide, offering support and information for the XTS-W system. The company has been a leader in bearing condition monitoring since 2000, with extensive experience and industry certifications.

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitor-2

Condition-based Maintenance The XTS-W is a bearing condition monitor for 2-stroke low speed engines. It indicates wear in the crank train: main; crankpin; and crosshead bearings. In addition it can monitor water in oil content and electrical potential between the propeller shaft and hull, both of which may have an adverse effect on bearing life. The XTS-W can be accessed in a variety of ways to suit the preferences of the ship owner: • Locally, in the engine control room using a standard monitor keyboard and mouse • Remotely, via an ethernet connection: - integrated to a suitable AMS system •...

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitor-3

A proven solution to maximise revenue and reduce costs Avoid Open-Up Inspections MAN Diesel & Turbo has stated that if a system such as the XTS-W is installed, open-up inspections of all crank train bearings are no longer required, providing operational cost savings and removing the high risk of bearing damage during such inspections. Exposure of key personnel to potentially hazardous situations is also removed, offering a safer working environment. Cost-effective, planned maintenance The XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitor provides ‘real-time’ data on crank train bearing condition. It displays the...

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitor-5

Protection you cannot afford to be without Open-up inspections and bearing failure There is an increased risk of damage to a healthy bearing after a regular unnecessary open-up inspection – as statistics prove! Experience shows that main bearings are particularly vulnerable to mis-assembly, dirt and scratches during such inspections. All this increases operational costs and exposes key staff to potential hazards. Importantly, MAN Diesel & Turbo does not recommend unnecessary opening up of the crank train bearings on its 2-stroke low speed engines. Better to eliminate the risk of bearing failure....

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitor-6

AMOT has pioneered the development of bearing condition monitoring since 2000, when the company produced its first concepts of the XTS-W in collaboration with MAN Diesel & Turbo. From its initial sea trials through to class, licensee and ship owner adoption, the XTS-W has evolved to become the leading bearing condition monitor on the market today. A manufacturer of quality components for marine rotating machinery since 1948, AMOT currently has three manufacturing sites and seven sales offices positioned strategically around the world to support new build, ship owners and operators globally. Our...
