Faraday Predictive - Overview
Faraday Predictive Ltd was set up in 2017 to help asset owners and operators become more efficient, through the adoption of optimised maintenance strategies, particularly Condition Based Maintenance, enabled by Model-Based Voltage and Current (MBVI) Condition Monitoring Systems.
Although Faraday Predictive was only set up in 2017, we bring more than a decade of experience with MBVI systems, and several decades of experience helping organisations improve the performance of their Maintenance and Operations activities.
Based in Cambridge, we build on the world-leading capabilities of Cambridge University departments including Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering, allowing us to develop leading-edge solutions from the ground up. We have also had superb support from Mathematicians and Scientists from a number of other leading universities
We combine this academic expertise with deep practical experience of the worlds of maintenance and asset management, of traditional Vibration-based Condition Monitoring technologies, and of education, training and consultancy support to deliver real improvements in many different industry sectors. We have real experiences of implementing RCM, TPM, CMMS/EAMS, and a variety of other maintenance improvement initiatives.
We have used this experience to define and develop the Faraday Predictive Condition Monitoring Systems, to make sure they are easy to use, easy to install, and that they provide easy to understand, actionable advice, that explains why the system has diagnosed a particular problem, the likely effect of that problem, and the recommended course of action. In short, they are designed by engineers like you for engineers like you.
Whether you just want a quick assessment of the condition of one or two machines, or are looking to implement a comprehensive Condition-Based Maintenance strategy, we are here to help you – through the supply of world-leading technological solutions, education and training, or consultancy advice.

Contact Details Tel : 01952 947682 Fax : Email : sales@dsc-ltd.co.uk Web : https://dsc-ltd.co.ukFounded in 1983 Rotech Systems Manufacture and supply worldwide, high quality, high reliability equipment for monitoring and measuring the speed, position and direction of rotating shafts.
Rotech Systems are the world’s leading manufacturer of high quality monitoring solution products with an unparalleled reputation for reliability, durability and quality.
Major features are tough, strong, heavy duty construction, designed to operate and give years of maintenance free operation in even the harshest industrial environments, quarries, mines, etc. and simple, quick, installation.
Main applications are in the bulk handling and processing industries. Protecting conveyors, elevators, screws, crushers, mixers, etc. anywhere were slowing down or stoppage will cause product spillage, blockage, etc. and incur downtime, lost production, cleaning up, spoilt product, etc.
Equipment can give visual and/or audible alarms plus shutdown items of plant for a speed reduction of only 5% (adjustable 5% to 90%)
Protects against conveyor belt slip, v belt slip, chain breakage, mechanical failure, stoppage, blocking, jamming, etc.
Industries using “Rotech”: Food, Textiles, Glass, Grain, Power generators, Fertiliser, Sand, Gravel, Roadstone, Coal, steel, Ore.
Wherever materials are transported or processed by Conveyors, Elevators, Screws, Crushers, Mixers, Etc, there are applications for “Rotech” Motion Sensors/Encoders.
Food, Grain, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, Sand, Stone, Cement, Ore, Coal, Ash, in Factories, Quarries, Mines, Power Utilities, and Dock Installations are all excellent examples.
A single conveyor may run for long periods without any problems, but not forever, the day arrives when it starts to slip or slow down and unless action is taken quickly to switch off the conveyor, crusher or plant that feeds it then a major spillage can occur.
In a large plant with many conveyors and drives the potential for problems is multiplied by every additional drive element.
The costs of clearing up a spillage are not simply the costs of a man with a shovel, this is the tip of the iceberg, they can include:
The “Rotech” range of Monitoring Equipment is comprised of a range of Motion Sensors/Encoders, Vibration Sensors and associated Speed Relays.
The Heavy Duty Sensors are installed on the end of the shaft or on the belt being monitored. They send an electrical signal proportional to the speed of the shaft/belt to a suitable control unit.
The control unit can be a “Rotech” Speed Relay, a Programmable Controller, a Computer, Data Logger device or other proprietary control equipment.
The alarm level of the control unit is set to just below the normal running speed of the shaft.
In the event of the shaft/belt slowing below the set level, the control unit operates and can be connected to give an alarm to the operator and/or shutdown preceding items of plant.
“Rotech” heavy duty motion sensors and encoders combine many unique design features to give
the customer:-
For shaft encoders one hole is drilled and tapped into the end of the shaft to be monitored, gives simple, uncomplicated, fast installation.
One type of unit covers all types of drives, conveyors, elevators, crushers, etc. allowing standardisation of designs, installation and spares.
No target discs to design, manufacture and install.
No sensor brackets to design, manufacture and install.
No guards to design, manufacture and install.
No on – plant adjustment or setting up required.
The “Rotech” unit is carried on the shaft and moves with it, it is unaffected by shaft end float, belt adjustment, etc.
If the end of the shaft is inaccessible our wheel encoders can be used directly on the belt.
A piece of unistrut is bolted to two uprights across the return belt, then the wheel encoder is bolted to the centre of the unistrut using the integral bracket, this bracket allows the wheel encoder to hang down on to the return belt and move freely with the belt.
Again one type of unit covers all types of drives, conveyors, elevators, crushers, etc. allowing standardisation of designs, installation and spares.
No target discs to design, manufacture and install.
No sensor brackets to design, manufacture and install.
No guards to design, manufacture and install.
No on – plant adjustment or setting up required.
“Rotech” Motion Sensors/Encoders are digital pulse generators guaranteed accurate to within 0.5%, they cannot drift and require no checks or periodic calibration.
With pulse output rates from 1 Pulse per Rev to 1000 Pulses per Rev, drive speeds from 5000 RPM down to 0.03 RPM (2 Revs/Hour) can be accurately and reliability measured and monitored.
“Rotech” units are designed to operate and survive in even the toughest industrial environments, they have been particularly developed for the Quarrying and Mining industries, however their compact size makes them just as suitable for light industries such as :-
Food Production, Animal Feeds, Farming, Pharmaceutical, Baggage Handling, Escalators & Moving Walkways, etc.
Heavy Duty castings, Heavy Duty sealed bearings and robust fully encapsulated industrialised electronics form the tough strong core of these units.
Extensive use is made of modern engineering adhesives and sealants to double up on the traditional precision assembly methods and ensure even greater reliability.
‘O’ ring seals on end covers, grease chambers, spring loaded shaft seals and liquid tight flexible conduit and glands complete these units to give outstanding levels of protection and ensure the highest levels of reliability and operational life.
Installed price is competitive or possibly lower than alternative methods, ultimate! in operational life and reliability is an added bonus
