Coupling Monitoring and Asset Health: Vibration, Thermography, and Maximo
A coupling failure rarely announces itself. By the time the elastomeric element is in pieces or the gear teeth are stripped, the machine has been vibrating abnormally for weeks — and the adjacent [bearings](/blog/2026/02/bearing-monitoring-and-asset-health-vibration-signatures-oil-analysis-and-maximo/) have been absorbing forces they were never designed for.
