These are typical examples of successful applications of infrared thermography to either trending or diagnosing mechanical systems and components prior to failure.  The majority of mechanical system and component failure modes and mechanisms can be identified through trending and analysis of increased heat output resulting from friction, vibration, misalignment, variation in either material properties or thickness, etc.  Identifying potential faults or pending failures before they become critical allows corrective action to be scheduled with minimum disruption to system operation; the difference between a successful preventative verses reactive maintenance program.
