dc.description.abstract	This case study describes the deployment of an axial load measurement and control solution for centrifugal pumps experiencing high bearing temperatures on the Non-Drive End (NDE). Through the real-time measurement of the axial load on-skid, informed and successful control of the balance line pressure was performed. Thus, the effect of the balance piston was increased and the overall load on the bearing was reduced by ~75% allowing the pumps to return to service averting the risk for the customer
