Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)

Condition-Based Maintenance

Maintenance initiated when monitored condition indicators show deterioration beyond defined limits.

Examples

  1. 01Under condition-based maintenance, the hydraulic filter is changed when pressure drop reaches 2 bar, not every 3 months.
  2. 02The maintenance review compares CBM thresholds with failure history to check that they trigger work early enough.
  3. 03Switching to CBM for filters cuts parts use by 35 % while unplanned hydraulic stops do not increase.
