Bearing Condition Monitor

Avoid open-up inspections & protect the heart of your engine with the XTS-W AMOT has pioneered the development of bearing wear 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...

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitoring System - 3

a proven solution to maximise revenue and reduce costs The XTS-W is a unique, cost-effective and relevant solution that breaks new ground in marine condition monitoring systems. Avoid Open-Up Inspections Maximum Availability 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....

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitoring System - 4

introducing the XTS-W: a major step towards reducing maintenance costs and maximising revenue The XTS-W has been developed by AMOT as 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 main bearing temperature, water in oil content and electrical potential between the propeller shaft and hull, all 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: l Locally, in the engine control room...

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitoring System - 5

Typical display screens • Bar chart showing 'real time' wear, 3 alarm conditions: green = good, yellow = warning red = alarm, flashing red = engine slow down main bearing guide shoe crosshead bearing crankpin bearing The XTS-W uses custom proximity sensors to measure the relative position of each guide shoe, at Bottom Dead Centre (BDC), with respect to the crankcase. Any significant wear in the bearing surfaces results in a shift in this measurement, thus facilitating early detection of a failure. This measurement technique is used to detect wear in the main, crank-pin and crosshead...

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitoring System - 6

a minor investment for major asset protection Experience With over 400 vessels specified by 50 different ship owners worldwide, combined operation time exceeds 100 years - making the XTS-W the most proven bearing condition monitor! Total bearing care The AMOT XTS-W constantly monitors the condition of the crank train bearings. Premature bearing failure can be the result of: ingress of dirt, misalignment, water in oil contamination causing weakening of the bearing material, or poor earthing of the propeller shaft to the hull, causing damaging spark erosion within the crank train bearings....

XTS-W Bearing Condition Monitoring System - 7

• 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...
