Abstract

The model of maintenance is an algorithm of activities which aims at
achieving the condition of a technical system that can ensure fulfilling the
goals as well as predicting possible equipment breakdowns. Researches
point out that corrective maintenance is associated with high cost and
considerable time consumption. On the other side there are method of
predictive maintenance, which presents a possibility to detect and predict
a technical system failure and method of preventive maintenance, which
performs the set tasks on technically correct systems in order to avoid
failures. The paper accentuates and reviews the position and significance
of the technology used for an early prediction of machinery wear by means
of one out of a series of analyses of lubricant oils known as ferrography.
