Maintenance intervals determine when inspections, lubrications, filter changes or overhauls should take place. They depend on operating hours, cycles, calendar time and conditions (temperature, dust, humidity, load). There are basic intervals set by the manufacturer and condition-based adjustments based on measurement data (vibration, temperature, oil/grease analysis, meter readings).
The aim is to avoid breakdowns, extend service life and reduce costs without unnecessary interventions. Best practices include: clear plans, spare parts and tool logistics, comprehensible checklists, employee training and comprehensive documentation. Digital reminders and trend analyses help to control intervals according to requirements. The result is increased availability, plannable downtime and more reliable quality during operation.
