Arbor Hog

SMARTdiagnostics was showing a high g reading on the arbor outboard reading. A Desk ticket was created, and the plant’s team was contacted about addressing these concerns. Ultimately, low lubrication events were determined to be the issue.

The recommended action was to lubricate as soon as possible, given it was safe to do so. Following this, if the readings remained high, the recommended action was to replace the damaged bearing. However, the readings did reduce after lubrication and the asset returned to normal function.
