Belt drive looseness is one of those faults that hides in plain sight. It rarely causes an immediate breakdown, but left unchecked, it accelerates wear on pulleys, bearings and motors, and can eventually bring a line to a standstill at the worst possible moment.
In this demo video, we show how Faraday Predictive’s MBVI (Model-Based Voltage and Current) technology detects belt drive looseness directly from the motor’s electrical signature, without needing sensors fitted to the belt or pulleys themselves. You’ll see how the system picks up the tell-tale variations in current caused by a slipping or slack belt, well before the problem becomes visible or audible on the plant floor.
Whether you’re new to condition monitoring or already run a maintenance programme, this short demo gives a clear, practical look at how early detection like this helps you plan repairs on your terms, not the machine’s.
That’s belt drive looseness detection in action; a fault that’s easy to miss and expensive to ignore, caught early and clearly using nothing more than the motor’s own voltage and current data.
If you’re looking to catch issues like this across your rotating equipment before they turn into costly downtime, get in touch with Faraday Predictive. Whether you need a permanent monitoring solution, a portable assessment with the P100, or a one-off on-site diagnostic survey, we can help you find the approach that fits your plant.
