l speed or acceleration. smooth slow sinusoidal mov ement by each turn of the mill is indicating eccentricity of the

girth gear. Abrupt changes in axial position are indicating dangerous shock peaks caused by roundness or pitch problems in the

girth gear. Beside the traditional vibration analysis, the monitoring of the movement of the floating shaft brings great visibility about

the condition of the drive train. This simple method is also known by the manufacturer of these type of gearboxes,

nevertheless usually the signals are not analyzed in way to get the full benefit out of them. The Floating Shaft Monitor analyzes the axial shaft movement and provides the amplitude, the speed or the acceleration as 4...2mA signals.
