Ultrasound lubrication checker

Ultrasonic sensor improves maintenance practices when re-lubricating bearings

Re-lubrication is critical to extend the life of bearings yet is often carried out based on experience. The TLGU 10 makes re-lubrication a more practical process by helping to deliver the correct amount of lubricant to a bearing at the right time. The device is simple to use, and relies on a robust, repeatable ultrasound sensor that is optimised for harsh conditions. The sensor monitors the ultrasound noise from lubricant inside bearing. Once connected to a grease gun, the TLGU 10 allows a technician to listen to this sound, via headphones during the re-lubrication process. The sound changes based on the amount of lubricant inside the bearing. In addition, a coloured display indicates noise levels for ease of use.

• Easy to use. The TLGU 10 is supplied as a kit. Combining sound with visual displays helps the technician to re-lubricate with maximum accuracy.
• Extends bearing life. Accurate re-lubrication leads to optimum bearing performance, which reduces the likelihood of premature wear and failure.
• Improve re-lubrication practices. Direct feedback on the re-lubrication process increases awareness and care when pushing grease and communicate about potential issues with maintenance and reliability teams.
