Vibration Monitoring of Rolling Mill Auxiliary Drives — Bently Nevada
How to protect auxiliary rolling mill drives — roll tables, shears, coilers, lube pumps — with Bently Nevada 3500/42M and Orbit DCM. Measurement points, typical faults and downtime economics in metallurgy.
EN version — draft. Ready to publish once kk/en routing (i18n) is implemented across the site.
The main drive of a rolling mill is always first priority: proximity probes, 3500 protection and System 1 historization. Yet auxiliary units — roll tables, shears, coilers, cooling and lube pump stations — are more often the cause of unplanned line stops when monitoring is limited to visual rounds and occasional walk-around measurements.
