Abstract
Condition monitoring of low-speed machines differs from medium to high-speed machines mainly due to misunderstanding of the condition changes and due to low energy emitted when certain damages happen in the moving components. Failures develop slowly and they stay latent till some critical point of their development interval when it is usually too late to act on prevention. Therefore, special considerations must be taken when deciding on data collection and special measuring systems employed for condition monitoring of machines with low cycles of operation. These considerations are presented in the chapter in order to assist technical teams to successfully implement effective maintenance systems to such machines.
