Precision Maintenance |
Precision maintenance denotes a high level of skill and training of the crafts. Such things as use of standard procedures for bearing replacement, correct preparation of foundations before setting equipment to prevent soft foot, and using vibration to verify correct installation are examples. It also encompasses using tighter tolerances than is normal. When balancing, take the little extra time to make an extra run - it will pay off in increased bearing life. Precision alignment to increase seal life, strict cleanliness to avoid later problems because of dirt, and extra care in seating surface preparation are other examples. Analysis of the history will show where the training dollars should be spent. |
