Neutralizing Dynamic Risk
The Mission: A Francis plant (25MW) suffered chronic vibration and bearing failures. Previous "fixes" addressed symptoms. Our objective: Eliminate the root cause misalignment and restore uptime.

Exceeds Target
ISO Zone A Achieved
5-Year Projection
01 The Threat Vector
The plant experienced frequent unplanned shutdowns and accelerating bearing wear (guide bearings lasting only 18 months vs. expected 5 years). Previous service providers attributed the issue to "normal component fatigue" and recommended standard replacements, ignoring the underlying geometry.
> RISK DETECTED: SYSTEMIC MISALIGNMENT (>0.15 mm/m)
> CONSEQUENCE: ACCELERATED BEARING DESTRUCTION
02 Tactical Execution
We deployed the AnoHUB Precision Protocol to correct the root cause:
-
Forensic NDT Audit Acoustic monitoring pinpointed specific vibration harmonics (2x RPM) indicative of misalignment, definitively ruling out hydraulic imbalance or magnetic pull.
-
Precision Re-Alignment We enforced the non-negotiable 0.05 mm/m tolerance on the shaft assembly using dual-laser systems, correcting the 0.15mm deviation.
-
M-E Synergy Check Identified hidden grounding issues in the generator as a secondary factor, eliminating stray currents that were accelerating bearing wear via electro-erosion.
