Most bearing failures give you warning. You just need to know what to look for.

1️⃣ Elevated vibration at specific frequencies
2️⃣ Rising bearing temperatures
3️⃣ Grinding, clicking, or high-pitched noise
4️⃣ Increased lubrication consumption
5️⃣ Contamination or discolouration in used lubricant

Catch these early, and you’re planning a replacement. Miss these, and you’re dealing with a failure.

📞 If you’re seeing any of these on site, we can help you find out what’s going on before it becomes a problem.

Reliability Engineering is one of the most impactful roles in any plant, and this Mobius course gives you the tools to prove it. From quantifying the cost of unreliability to building asset management strategies that stick, you'll leave with the structured knowledge and confidence to drive real results on site.

If you're ready to level up in reliability, this one's for you.

Out and about recently, completing a laser alignment on an irrigation intake pump. 🚗

We're in Rotorua for the VANZ Conference 2026 and it's a great day to be talking predictive maintenance.

As Platinum Sponsors this year, we've got the team out in force - come have a chat about what predictive maintenance actually looks like on the ground.

Vibration analysis, thermal imaging, laser alignment, online condition monitoring - if it keeps your plant running, we want to talk about it.

Find us at the MBS stand. 😄

One of our team out on site recently, carrying out ultrasonic steam trap testing. 🔧

Without a regular testing programme, up to 50% of steam traps can be in a failed state at any given time - costing you in wasted energy and unplanned repairs.

We come to you. Get in touch at www.mbs.net.nz/contact.html

⚠️ This is what coupling damage from misalignment looks like.

Misalignment is one of the leading causes of premature bearing failure, damaged seals, and worn shafts - and it often goes undetected until it looks like this.

MBS laser alignment is accurate to 0.01mm. Catch it early and avoid the costly repair. Learn more at mbs.net.nz

Four Mobius courses. Two cities. Real skills you can use on site.

Most people working around machinery never get formal training - they learn on the job, reactive and under pressure. These Mobius courses change that. Build globally recognised skills in vibration analysis and reliability engineering that move you from firefighting to confident, data-driven decisions.

Working closely with customers means we gain a deeper understanding of their operations, their risks, and what reliability really looks like on the ground. We’re proud to work alongside Danone , supporting their maintenance teams with predictive and preventative maintenance services that help reduce unplanned downtime and protect critical assets. Partnerships like this don't just happen, they take time building trust, maintaining consistency and holding similar values.

"I started my journey with MBS back in June 2012 as the junior in the team. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work across multiple condition monitoring technologies and industries, learning the ropes from the ground up. Today, I’m proud to be Operations Manager and a certified Mobius Institute Instructor, combining hands on technical experience with leadership and training to help teams lift reliability and performance.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me running the BBQ at any gathering, or spending time with my family hunting, fishing, or camping. If I’m not doing that, I’m probably at the gym."

Favourite saying I live by,
“If you wouldn’t lean on it, don’t reach into it.”
