Strobe Testing
Strobe tests can be conducted for example on the following to determine their condition:
a) The condition of couplings.
b) The conditions of belts on belt driven equipment e.g. slipping/worn belts.
c) Diagnostic inspection e.g. bases looseness of equipment.
d) Condition of gear teeth in mesh and displacement of lubrication.
e) Stop action inspections e.g. bent blades and shafts and conditions of gear teeth.
A) Temperature readings and trends on bearings
B) Temperature readings trends on gear sets e.g pinion and girth gears. (Friction generates heat)
