Platform Features · Bearing Life Monitoring
Every critical bearing, on a countdown you can see.
Bearings fail on physics, not surprise. We track runtime, load history and vibration signatures per bearing position — turning 'it might fail someday' into a remaining-life estimate with a parts list.

The problem it kills
A bearing announces its death weeks in advance — in writing.
SUDDEN
The ₹6-lakh surprise
A spindle bearing failure is never just a bearing — it's the spindle, the rebuild, and a week of lost production. Life tracking makes it a planned afternoon.
GUESS
Replaced by anxiety
Without data, bearings get changed too early by the cautious and too late by the busy. Signature-based life estimates end both.
HISTORY
No memory of positions
Which position fails often? Which brand lasts? Bearing genealogy per position turns replacements into learning.
How it works
Bearing Life Monitoring, the MachineWise way.
Deployed software-first in under an hour, included in one subscription — no per-module licensing.
TRACK
Position-level registry
- Every critical bearing mapped per machine
- Runtime and duty accumulated automatically
- Replacement history with brand and date
- Spindles, gearboxes, motors, fans covered
WATCH
Signatures per position
- Defect frequencies monitored continuously
- Envelope analysis for earliest indication
- Temperature correlation where sensed
- Severity staging: normal → watch → plan → act
PLAN
Life you can schedule
- Remaining-life estimates with confidence
- Pre-order prompts before criticality
- Change-outs aligned to planned stops
- Fleet-wide bearing risk ranking

Questions
Straight answers.
How is remaining bearing life estimated?
From each bearing position's runtime, load history and vibration signature. Defect-frequency and envelope trends move a bearing through normal, watch, plan and act, and the remaining-life estimate carries a confidence level.
Which bearings can be tracked?
Every critical position: spindles, gearboxes, motors and fans, mapped per machine with runtime, duty and replacement history including brand and date.
How does bearing life monitoring help with spares?
Pre-order prompts arrive before a bearing becomes critical and change-outs are aligned to planned stops, so the part is on the shelf before the failure rather than after it.
How is this different from catalogue L10 bearing life?
L10 is a statistical rating: the life that 90% of a group of identical bearings reach at a given load and speed. Monitoring follows the actual bearing in its position, so the estimate reflects how that bearing is really running. See FFT analysis for the signals behind it.
