SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-R
The SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-R is a powerful, cost-effective solution for OEMs to install in rail vehicles, while the wireless IMx-B system is ideal for bogie retrofitting.
Together with SKF @ptitude Observer software, SKF Multilog IMx-R provides a complete system for early fault detection and prevention, automatic advice for correcting existing or impending conditions, and advanced condition-based maintenance to improve machine reliability, availability and performance.
Benefits of the system include:
- Increased safety and reliability
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Improved maintenance and planning
- Extended overhaul intervals
- Reduced unplanned downtime and standstills
- Root cause analysis capabilities
- Optimized spare parts logistics
System capabilities
The SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-R is able to monitor the following bogie subsystems to improve train reliability:
| Subsystem | Detection Parameters |
| Wheel | Out-of-roundness, Wheel flats |
| Axleboxes | Temperature measurements for TSI (Technical Specification for Interoperability), benchmarking analysis, Vibration measurements, trend and spectra analysis |
| Gearbox | Temperature and vibration measurements, to monitor bearing and gear damage, unbalance, misalignment and shaft bending, loose part and resonances |
| Gearbox oil | Oil temperature, level and condition |
| Traction motor | Temperature and vibration measurements, to monitor bearing |
| Bogie | Bogie hunting instability detection for TSI (Technical Specification for Interoperability). |
