The SKF MCI is the result of some successful development work, resulting in a sophisticated yet simple tool. On one hand the SKF Machine Condition Indicator is as simple as a "check engine' light, on the other hand an advanced algorithm prevents the unit from false alarming. The MCI truly has SKF knowledge engineering behind it."
SKF's Machine Condition Indicator is a low-cost vibration and temperature monitoring device designed for rotating machinery with constant operating conditions. It provides the ability to track basic machine health on assets that are not currently being monitored on a regular basis. By utilising the SKF Machine Condition Indicator, plant operators can save both time and money by freeing up maintenance engineers to spend less time on problem detection and more time focusing on root cause analysis and other more significant issues.
