SKF Multilog On-line Systems IMX-8 and IMX-16

Critical assets don’t fail without warning. The real risk is not seeing the warning signs.

Unplanned downtime, unexpected equipment failures and limited maintenance resources can have a significant impact on productivity and profitability. The SKF Multilog IMx-8 and IMx-16 online condition monitoring systems help maintenance teams move from reactive repairs to predictive maintenance by continuously monitoring the health of critical rotating equipment. They provide early fault detection, enabling corrective action before issues develop into costly failures.

These compact, book-sized devices are designed for a wide range of industries, including metals, mining, process industries, marine, wind energy and machine tools. The IMx-8 offers 8 analogue and 2 digital inputs, while the IMx-16 expands monitoring capability with 16 analogue and 4 digital inputs. Both systems perform simultaneous measurements across all channels and support a wide range of vibration, temperature and process sensors.

By collecting and analysing machine condition data around the clock, the IMx-8 and IMx-16 provide valuable machine intelligence that helps organisations increase equipment availability, reduce maintenance costs and extend asset life. Features such as Bluetooth connectivity, mobile device access, Power over Ethernet (PoE), Modbus communication and stand-alone operation make installation and operation straightforward. The systems can also integrate with SKF software, cloud services and Remote Diagnostic Services, giving users access to advanced analytics and expert recommendations.

Whether monitoring a single critical asset or an entire production line, the SKF Multilog IMx-8 and IMx-16 deliver the insights needed to improve reliability, optimise maintenance planning and keep operations running with confidence.
